Kravchenko states he will declare his permanent residence
Recent reports have surfaced regarding a house that Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko allegedly uses without declaring it. The property was brought up during a session of the High Anti-Corruption Court concerning the prevention measures for Sergei Kropyva, the Deputy Head of the International Cooperation Department at the Prosecutor General’s Office.
During the court proceedings, a prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office claimed that Kropyva arranged repairs at Kravchenko’s house in Kozyn, including the installation of a gas generator. Additionally, it was alleged that Kropyva facilitated flights for the prosecutor’s wife and partner to Spain prior to his official trip.
The specific location of the house, which is not mentioned in Kravchenko’s declaration, was disclosed by media sources based on internal information. According to Bihus.info, the property is approximately 300 square meters and was registered at the beginning of 2026 under the name of a 73-year-old woman who had recently opened a business entity and is not listed among Kravchenko’s relatives in his declaration.
In response to the allegations, Kravchenko stated on social media that his family resides in the 280 square meter house “under a rental agreement.” He explained that they selected the residence in winter but had to make improvements and adjustments to the equipment. The family moved in on May 1, 2026.
Kravchenko assured that he would declare his permanent residence in accordance with the law and rejected accusations of involvement in illicit activities related to unauthorized call centers. “The conversations released by NABU clearly show that earlier claims by anti-corruption authorities linking me to the receipt of funds from illegal call centers and their legalization lack any substantiation. Conversations are just conversations, and the photo of a safe with money [shared in the media] is merely a photo of a safe with money that has no relation to me or the prosecution,” he stated.
Regarding his family’s travels and living expenses, Kravchenko clarified that all expenditures were made strictly within the framework of current legislation and his declared income without any violations.
He also commented on the information regarding his wife’s acquisition of an American visa, emphasizing that no one assisted her in that process.
Context
- On September 4, NABU and SAP announced a special operation to uncover a criminal organization suspected of being managed by a high-ranking official of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine. According to anti-corruption agencies, this organization may be involved in “protection” of fraudulent call centers and money laundering, named “Carthage.”
- Case materials indicate that the suspects were accepting bribes for the “protection” of call centers and laundering those funds. Officials within the Prosecutor General’s Office are believed to have acted in coordination with current employees of the prosecution service, as per NABU. The bureau released photos of seized cash and vehicles, as well as recordings of phone conversations allegedly involving the suspects discussing how to leverage their positions within the prosecutor’s office to appoint their associates and control illegal financial flows.
- On September 5, media reported that the Prosecutor General had been untraceable since the start of Operation Carthage, but Kravchenko later refuted those claims.
