During the Prosecutor General's absence following Viktor Shokin's resignation, Yuriy Sevruk, an assistant to Prosecutor General Vladislav Kutsenko, will act as his deputy.
According to Kutsenko, this is done within the framework of the law "On the Temporary Performance of Official Duties" in cases where they are appointed by the president or parliament. As it turns out, Sevruk can serve as acting prosecutor general for no more than a month. If the Verkhovna Rada does not approve the appointment of a new prosecutor general, the president is required to submit a new candidate within two weeks, with Sevruk's term starting from scratch.
As a reminder, Shokin was dismissed by decree of President Petro Poroshenko on April 3, and a new appointment is expected on the 12th, during the next plenary week.
