Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has nominated Andriy Kostin, a lawmaker from the president's political party, to be the country's next prosecutor general.
Zelenskiy submitted a formal request to parliament for the assembly to vote to confirm Kostin's appointment. He would replace Iryna Venediktova, who was removed as prosecutor general earlier this month.
