The Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday appointed Oleksander Klimenko as the new head of the entity’s Specialized Anti-Corruption Office, according to the head of the Ukrainian Presidency office, Andriy Yermak.

Thus, the attorney general, Andriy Kostin, whose appointment was approved on Wednesday by the Ukrainian Parliament, has confirmed Klimenko’s appointment, as Yermak indicated in a message broadcast through Telegram.

“Kostin has approved his appointment immediately after accessing himself to the position of attorney general”, he pointed out before explaining that his election has taken place after a “fair” vote.

Yermak also congratulated Kostin on the start of his work as attorney general and wished Klimenko “effective work”, especially in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In this sense, he stressed that the Prosecutor’s Office has a “great mission ahead”, that of “investigating the war crimes committed by Russia” in the country. “We must bring Russian criminals to justice,” he said.
