NABU and SAP called Prosecutor General Kravchenko's statements a continuation of pressure on independent anti-corruption bodies and refuted the service of a suspicion against director Krivonos.

Volodymyr Zelensky's circle stated that Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko's initiative to serve a suspicion against NABU Director Semen Krivonos was not coordinated with the President's Office and is his personal act of overreach.

NABU carried out searches at the residence of Oleg Kiper, head of the Odesa RMA, as part of the 'Carthage' case: his phone was seized, but he himself is not a suspect. Styler has compiled a chronology of scandals — from a pension at 43 to 'grain' schemes and a vacation in Europe.
