On October 12, 2026, Acting Prosecutor General Anton Kovalskyi signed an order appointing Yevhen Hrushovets as a member of the Competition Commission for organizing and conducting the competition for vacant administrative positions in the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, UNN reports, citing a statement by the Prosecutor General's Office.
On October 9, 2026, the Council of Prosecutors of Ukraine adopted a decision to submit Yevhen Hrushovets's candidacy to the Acting Prosecutor General for membership in the Competition Commission.
"The need to appoint a new commission member arose after the early termination of the powers of one of the commission members. The relevant order was issued on September 4, 2026, based on a proposal from the Competition Commission (this concerned the early termination of the powers of commission member and lawyer Oleksii Shevchuk — ed.)," the PGO reported.
After that, the Council of Prosecutors of Ukraine announced a selection process for a candidate, determined the procedure for submitting documents, and, following the selection, submitted Yevhen Hrushovets's candidacy.
