Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin has announced that he is resigning from his post because he bears political responsibility for the situation with fake disabilities for prosecutors.
“I believe that the position of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is absolutely correct that not only should all unlawful decisions on granting disabilities, relevant pension and other accruals be canceled, there should be not only clear legislative and organizational changes, but also personal responsibility. In the middle of them, political responsibility,” Kostin said in a message on his Telegram channel on Tuesday.
He added: “I am grateful to the President of Ukraine and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for their trust. But in this situation, I consider it right to announce my resignation from the post of Prosecutor General.”
According to Kostin, on Tuesday, the President of Ukraine held a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council “regarding the obviously immoral situation with fake disabilities of state officials.”
“Currently, inspections are underway at all levels of the state, and criminal proceedings are being investigated. Many shameful facts of abuse have been established in the system of prosecutor’s offices of Ukraine,” he said.
