An attorney from Kyiv region sent a letter to the Bar Association of Kyiv region requesting the closure of the administrative offense case against Oleg Kravchenko under part 5 of article 212-3 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses.
It was reported that on June 10, 2025, attorney Yevheniy Romanuk submitted a Statement to the Bar Association of Kyiv region regarding the administrative responsibility of Oleg Kravchenko, the acting director of the Department of Regional Development of Kyiv Regional State Administration, under part 5 of article 212-3 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses. The basis for the Statement was the lack of response from the Department of Regional Development to attorney’s request No. 13/05/25 dated May 13, 2025.
According to the Law of Ukraine on Advocacy and Legal Practice, the response deadline is five working days. As of June 10, 2025 (the date of the Statement), the attorney had not received any response. After submitting the Statement, a response was received from the Department of Regional Development of Kyiv Regional State Administration on June 26, 2025. Although the response was delayed, the fact of receiving it indicates that actions to withhold information were rectified.
The purpose of submitting the Statement regarding administrative responsibility was to exercise the attorney’s professional rights and obtain necessary information for legal assistance. Currently, the requested information (or part of it) has been obtained by the attorney. Considering the receipt of the response, further proceedings in the case of the administrative offense against Oleg Kravchenko under part 5 of article 212-3 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses lose their relevance and expediency.
