No one's expecting disgraced Prosecutor General Kravchenko at Paris event on Ukrainian children

Outgoing Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko requested permission to leave Ukraine to attend a Sept. 16 European conference on Ukrainian children in Paris, but organizers told the Kyiv Independent he will not attend the event in any capacity.
Kravchenko, long seen as a staunch loyalist of President Volodymyr Zelensky, resigned on Sept. 7 after NABU detectives exposed an alleged scam call center protection racket run from the Prosecutor General's Office — only the latest in a string of scandals that had forced out top Zelensky allies.
The Kyiv Independent saw a signed and approved document authorizing Kravchenko to leave Ukraine to attend the Paris conference on international accountability for Ukrainian children, organized by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
However, Kravchenko's name does not appear on the event program's list of speakers.
"Neither Ukraine's Prosecutor General - nor any member of his office - will take part in this meeting," a PACE spokesperson told the Kyiv Independent.
Asked to confirm whether Kravchenko would attend in any capacity, the spokesperson said the organizer had confirmed that "Mr Kravchenko will not be present neither as a speaker nor as a participant."
"100%, he will not appear."
Given Kravchenko will not be at the Paris event, the question remains open about where he actually intends to go.
