Ukraine Prosecutor General Resigns Amid Scandal

Ukraine's Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin has resigned amidst a scandal involving fake disability documents used by officials to evade military service, a move he sees as taking political responsibility for the 'shameful acts'. The scandal, uncovered by Ukraine's security services, involves high-ranking officials and has led to criminal investigations, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasizing the need for systemic reforms and accountability. Zelenskyy called for urgent legislative changes and for the dissolution of existing medical commissions responsible for assessing disabilities. The situation has also led to dismissals within the central commission overseeing military fitness and related health ministry roles. This scandal has drawn significant attention due to Ukraine's ongoing struggle to meet military manpower needs amidst the Russian invasion. The incident also highlights broader issues of corruption within Ukraine's governmental systems and the sensitivity surrounding military mobilization.
