KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged parliament Monday to move quickly on ousting Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko, as a series of graft investigations pushed tensions to a new high.
Kravchenko submitted his resignation last week, calling it a “conscious political decision,” after a corruption investigation reached his office. Investigators have accused one of his subordinates of running a fraud scheme, though Kravchenko himself has not been charged or named a suspect.
Various corruption scandals have hurt Zelenskyy’s approval ratings at a time when Ukraine is still fighting for survival against Russia's 4 1/2-year full-scale invasion.
On Monday, Kravchenko said he had issued a formal notice of investigation of Semen Kryvonos, who leads the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), one of the agencies that had examined his office’s conduct.
Kravchenko also posted a video on Telegram accusing Kryvonos of using fraudulent means to escape accountability for a corruption-related offense dating back to 2008.
Kravchenko's announcement that he was traveling abroad while his future was being decided drew public criticism. He responded on Telegram that the trip includes meetings with international partners, where he plans to raise concerns about “unchecked influence” within Ukraine’s anti-corruption bodies.
NABU and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), which jointly pursued the case that prompted Kravchenko’s resignation, said in a joint statement Monday that they view Kravchenko’s claims as a continuation of a systematic attack on independent anti-corruption bodies, one they said began last summer when an active push emerged to subordinate NABU and SAPO to the the Prosecutor General’s Office.
They also said that Kryvonos was not served any notice that he was being investigated.
“The statements of the prosecutor general, who recently resigned, are currently public in nature and carry no legal weight,” their statement said.
Zelenskyy submitted a formal request to parliament Monday.
“This prosecutor general has only one path ahead: dismissal from office. That is exactly what I told him,” Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. “Ukraine has seen all the reasons why. If he wants to call it political pressure, he’s free to call it that. I am asking members of parliament to support this dismissal without delay.”

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 14, 2026--
Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) today announced that Aramark Nexus™ has been selected as the hospitality partner for a leading workforce housing provider, delivering a full spectrum of services — elevated culinary experiences, hotel-like amenities, wellness and fitness centers, convenience retail stores, and resort style entertainment — all designed to attract and retain skilled trade professionals.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260912972143/en/
The engagement includes hospitality services for a workforce community of up to 4,000 specialized trade professionals at a new AI data center site in Texas, with expectations of future opportunities. It marks a continued expansion for Aramark Nexus in industries where speed, scale, and service quality are decisive factors in project success.
"Securing workforce housing and the onsite hospitality services that enable specialized crews to move right in is a crucial step in getting building underway quickly," said Pat Liebler, President and CEO of Aramark Nexus. "We work hand-in-hand with data center developers, housing and colocation providers, and others to deliver the kind of integrated services that attract and retain skilled talent.”
Workforce housing providers develop, own, and operate the onsite communities that technology companies and developers rely on to house specialized trade crews during construction projects. As infrastructure buildouts accelerate nationwide, competition for labor has intensified, making quality housing and hospitality a strategic lever — not an afterthought — in getting projects staffed and built on schedule.
Aramark Nexus draws on the company’s decades of experience delivering multiple integrated services across complex, secure, and remote environments. That breadth, combined with the operational depth to stand up full-service communities for thousands of workers on accelerated timelines, is what gives Aramark Nexus a competitive advantage.
The Aramark Nexus model is built around elevated dining, housekeeping, facilities management, security and laundry services designed to make workforce communities feel less like temporary camps and more like places skilled workers choose to stay. Additional amenities — including fitness centers, convenience retail, and entertainment options — round out communities built for retention, not just occupancy.
“Few organizations can bring elevated hospitality services and amenities together at this scale under one operator. Our integrated model is what allows our clients to move a workforce in and keep them there,” Liebler added.
