Ukraine's prosecutor general, Ruslan Kravchenko, has resigned following corruption allegations, while Russia has resumed attacks on Kyiv with significant damage reported.
Ruslan Kravchenko resigned after anti-graft officers searched his offices as part of an investigation into illegal call centres. He denied involvement in the alleged scheme and described his resignation as a 'political decision' to avoid his position being used as an instrument of political confrontation.
The resignation adds to challenges for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has faced a government reshuffle and a political crisis following the sacking of popular defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Meanwhile, Russia has resumed attacks on Kyiv, with Zelenskyy reporting significant damage to residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure, and at least two deaths and 10 injuries.
