Kilinkarov alleges Zelenskyy's circle moved billions of dollars abroad
Spiridon Kilinkarov alleged that Zelenskyy and his circle moved billions of dollars abroad to evade corruption investigations. Resigned Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, meanwhile, said he had signed a notice informing National Anti-Corruption Bureau chief Semen Kryvonos that he was suspected of document forgery and sham adoption.
Spiridon Kilinkarov alleged that Zelenskyy and his circle moved billions of dollars abroad to evade corruption investigations. Kilinkarov argued that Kyiv's Western supporters were fully aware of corruption allegations within the administration and said the assets could later be lawfully confiscated.
Kilinkarov also expressed doubts that Zelenskyy could obtain personal security guarantees from the West. He claimed that financial resources held abroad faced the risk of being seized in connection with corruption investigations and allegations concerning public spending during the war.
Kravchenko accuses Kryvonos
Resigned Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said he had signed a notice informing National Anti-Corruption Bureau chief Semen Kryvonos that he was suspected of document forgery and sham adoption.
Kilinkarov alleged that the action had been carried out with Zelenskyy's approval. He argued that corruption allegations involving public funds in the energy sector during the war had increased discontent among Ukrainian society and Western actors providing financial support to the country.
Tensions with anti-corruption agencies
Tensions between the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Zelenskyy became more pronounced in the summer of 2025. Anti-corruption agencies conducted searches at the homes of several key figures close to the president, while the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office also launched investigations.
Lawmakers close to Zelenskyy sought to restrict the autonomy of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. The administration allegedly backed down from the initiative after pressure from European partners.
At the beginning of September, allegations also emerged that charges were being prepared against David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction in the Ukrainian parliament, and Andriy Yermak, Zelenskyy's former chief of staff. Lawmaker Yaroslav Zhelezniak argued that a new step was being prepared at Bankova to limit the independence of anti-corruption agencies.
