As of September 17, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has no information on the whereabouts of former Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. This was stated by the ministry's spokesperson during a briefing on the topic of an energy ceasefire, in response to a question from an RBC-Ukraine correspondent. According to the spokesperson, diplomats are ready to assist law enforcement agencies within the framework of the law in the event that a case against the former head of the Prosecutor General's Office is developed. ### Foreign Ministry's Position on Possible Legal Mechanisms The Foreign Ministry spokesperson outlined the ministry's position in case Kravchenko is formally notified of suspicion. He emphasized that in such a situation, the ministry would provide the assistance provided for by the current legislation and the Foreign Ministry's authorized functions. Thus, the ministry effectively confirmed that it has no independent levers of influence over the course of a possible criminal case, but is ready to act within the limits of its competencies. ### Lack of Information on Location In response to a direct question about where the former prosecutor general is currently located, the Foreign Ministry representative stated that the ministry does not know of his whereabouts. "Our overseas diplomatic missions are not involved in any activity of this person, any of his meetings, or any movements of his, I can confirm that. And I do not know of his whereabouts, where he is located," the spokesperson noted. This statement is important because it rules out the involvement of Ukrainian diplomatic missions in organizing or accompanying Kravchenko's movements abroad. ### Timeline of the Dismissal It is worth recalling that on September 15, 2026, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy approved the dismissal of Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko. On the same day, the Verkhovna Rada supported his resignation from the position. Earlier, on September 14, Kravchenko himself stated that he was abroad "on an official business trip." According to an RBC-Ukraine source, the then prosecutor general left Ukraine at around 02:30 through one of the border crossing points on the border with Poland. ### Contradictory Data Sources record a discrepancy in the name of the Foreign Ministry spokesperson who gave these comments: in one of the materials he is listed as Hryhoriy Tikhyy, whereas in the headline of another source the surname Sybiga appears. Moreover, Kravchenko's own statement about being "on an official business trip" abroad is neither confirmed nor refuted by the Foreign Ministry, which directly states the lack of information on his location and that diplomatic missions have not contacted him on matters of movements. Thus, the actual whereabouts of the former prosecutor general at the time of the briefing remain undetermined. ## πŸ” Fact-Check Verification - [Sybiga's team does not know where Kravchenko is now: he has not contacted diplomatic missions](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/sibigi-znayut-de-zaraz-kravchenko-dipustanov-1789572164.html) - ΠŸΠΎΠ΄Ρ‚Π²Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ΄Π°Π΅Ρ‚ отсутствиС Ρƒ ΠœΠ˜Π” ΠΈΠ½Ρ„ΠΎΡ€ΠΌΠ°Ρ†ΠΈΠΈ ΠΎ мСстополоТСнии ΠšΡ€Π°Π²Ρ‡Π΅Π½ΠΊΠΎ ΠΈ Π½Π΅ΠΊΠΎΠ½Ρ‚Π°ΠΊΡ‚Π½ΠΎΡΡ‚ΡŒ Π΄ΠΈΠΏΡƒΡ‡Ρ€Π΅ΠΆΠ΄Π΅Π½ΠΈΠΉ; Π² Π·Π°Π³ΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠ²ΠΊΠ΅ Ρ„ΠΈΠ³ΡƒΡ€ΠΈΡ€ΡƒΠ΅Ρ‚ фамилия Π‘ΠΈΠ±ΠΈΠ³Π°, Ρ‡Ρ‚ΠΎ расходится с ΠΈΠΌΠ΅Π½Π΅ΠΌ спикСра Π² Π±Π°Π·ΠΎΠ²ΠΎΠΌ тСкстС. - [Ukraine's Prosecutor General Kravchenko published the 2nd part of his "investigation."
