(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko reported the incident on Facebook .

“A shocking incident occurred in the Holosiivskyi district of the capital. A Prosecutor's Office employee hit a pedestrian in a designated pedestrian zone on Velyka Vasylkivska Street. Violating both legal and moral norms, the driver hit a woman and fled the scene. He has now been detained,” Kravchenko wrote.

The victim is receiving all necessary medical assistance.

The driver was identified as Andrii Molochnyi, a senior specialist in one of the departments - a civil servant who works within the Prosecutor's Office but is not a prosecutor.

“This is shocking. Let me stress once again: working in the Prosecutor's Office is not a license for impunity - it's a responsibility,” Kravchenko emphasized.

He said he has taken the case under his personal oversight and, as Prosecutor General, will represent the victim's interests in court.

“Such behavior is a disgrace to the entire system. It must be punished severely - and I promise, it will be. The rule of law applies equally to everyone,” he stated, offering an apology for the disgraceful act committed by a member of the institution.
