Yuriy Vitaliyovych Lutsenko (Ukrainian:Юрій Віталійович Луценко; born 14 December 1964) is aUkrainian politician, who served asInterior Minister and entered theArmed Forces during theRussian invasion of Ukraine.[10]His most recent position wasProsecutor General of Ukraine (from 12 May 2016[11] until 29 August 2019[1]). Lutsenko has been a long servingpeople's deputy in theVerkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament); first elected in2002 and reelected in2007 and2014.[12]
Lutsenko wasMinister of Internal Affairs in the twocabinets ofYulia Tymoshenko and in the cabinets ofYuriy Yekhanurov andViktor Yanukovych. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Ukrainian police authority, and Lutsenko became the first civilian minister in February 2005.[13] Lutsenko is also a former leader of thePetro Poroshenko Bloc, and a former leader of its faction in theVerkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament).[14][15][16]
In 2010, Lutsenko was charged with abuse of office and forgery by Prosecutor General of UkraineViktor Pshonka,[17] in what was widely viewed as political retaliation for having investigated one of Yanukovych's cabinet members four years earlier.[18] In 2012, he was sentenced to four years in prison,[19] but was pardoned by Yanukovych in 2013.[20] In 2016, he became Ukraine's chief prosecutor under PresidentPetro Poroshenko, during which time he was criticized for undermining Ukraine's newly establishedNational Anti-Corruption Bureau. While in office, Lutsenko became a central figure in theTrump–Ukraine scandal, in which he worked with U.S. PresidentDonald Trump to try to find incriminating information on Trump's then-presumed opponent in the2020 United States presidential election,Joe Biden. He was dismissed by PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019; Trump later tried unsuccessfully to pressure Zelenskyy to reinstate him.[18]
Following the February2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Lutsenko joined theArmed Forces of Ukraine and has taken part in several battles since.[10] On 5 July 2023 Lutsenko announced that he would no longer serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces due to an establisheddisability.[21] According to him, he would "work towards victory as a volunteer".[21]
Lutsenko was born inRivne. His father was Vitaliy Ivanovych Lutsenko (15 March 1937 – 4 June 1999), who was elected people's deputy of Ukraine in1994 and1998, and secretary of the Central Committee ofCommunist Party of Ukraine.[22] Lutsenko's mother is Vira Mikhailivna (born 1936), aveterinarian.
Lutsenko earned his degree inelectronic engineering in 1989 fromLviv Polytechnical Institute.[12]
Lutsenko first gained public fame as one of the leaders of theUkraine without Kuchma campaign, which followed theCassette Scandal of 2000.[23][12] He was also one of the "faces of theOrange Revolution".[12] From 1991[citation needed], Lutsenko was a long-term member of theSocialist Party of Ukraine (SPU).
In the 1998, Lutsenko unsuccessfully ran for theVerkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) as number 58on the list of the SPU andPeasant Party of Ukraine Bloc and inUkraine's 152th electoral district from the same block.[12]
Lutsenko became apeople's deputy in theVerkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament) following the2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election (as third on the election list of SPU).[12] Lutsenko belonged to the pro-European faction akin to social democratic parties in the rest of Europe, rather than a post-Soviet oldfashioned socialism.
Lutsenko becameMinister of Internal Affairs in thefirst Tymoshenko Government ofYulia Tymoshenko appointed on 4 February 2005.[12]
As a minister, Lutsenko refused to run in the2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election on his party list. However, he has run for both theKyiv City Council[12] and theRivne Oblast Council[12] simultaneously in the lists of the Socialist Party – "to make the point", as he explained.[citation needed] Having won these seats, Lutsenko resigned from both in favor of his Minister's position as theConstitution of Ukraine prohibits occupying positions in the legislative and executive branches of the government at the same time.[citation needed]
Lutsenko suspended his membership of the SPU in the summer of 2006 as a result of the party leaderOleksandr Moroz's entering into a coalition with theCommunist Party of Ukraine and theParty of Regions of former Prime MinisterViktor Yanukovych.[12] When the coalition of the Party of Regions, Communists, and defected Socialists began to take shape, Lutsenko stated flatly that he would refuse to continue serving as the minister in a future government formed by these parties. However, after PresidentViktor Yushchenko agreed to allow the forming of the cabinet in exchange for severalpolitical concessions including the ability to pick the Minister of Interior, Lutsenko stated that the president asked him personally to remain as the minister, and he would do so.
Lutsenko was formally dismissed by the Verkhovna Rada on 1 December 2006.[24] The same month, Lutsenko created theCivil Movement "People's Self-Defense".[25]
In the September2007 Ukrainian parliamentary election Lutsenko was reelected to the Verkhovna Rada as the number 1 on the list of theOur Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc as a non-party member.[12]
On 18 December 2007, Lutsenko again became minister of Internal Affairs, whenYulia Tymoshenkowas again electedPrime Minister of Ukraine.[12]
In early May 2009, Lutsenko became entangled in a scandal concerning his behaviour during a visit to Germany. According to the German newspaperBild, Oleksandr Lutsenko, his son, was detained atFrankfurt Airport by theGerman police in a state of acute alcohol intoxication. The Ukrainian Interior Ministry dismissed these allegations.[a] On 12 May 2009, Yuriy Lutsenko sent in his resignation from the post of interior minister. In hisletter of resignation, the minister described the incident that happened inFrankfurt, and stressed that the German police had officially apologized to the Ukrainian delegation for this incident; but that despite this, German mass media disseminated false publications, which were later re-published by Ukrainian media.[b] Lutsenko was confident that a dirty campaign had been waged against him in Ukraine. The aim of the campaign, according to him, was to destabilize the work of the Interior Ministry.[26] On 15 May 2009, the Verkhovna Rada[c] passed a resolution, stipulating to address the government with a request to suspend Yuriy Lutsenko from the post of the Interior Minister of Ukraine until the "drunken incident" is investigated.[27][d]
Later, on 12 May 2009, Lutsenko claimed that he would sueBild. According to Lutsenko, the publication does not contain "any true things, any references to documents or real officials".[33]
PresidentViktor Yushchenko considered his appeal for resignation "a logical step, which should be made ..."[e] Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko believed that the information about the incident was doubtful.[f][g]
On 15 May 2009, the Verkhovna Rada passed a resolution asking the government to hold a seven-day official investigation into the events at Frankfurt Airport (first deputy [interior] minister Mykhailo Kliuyev served as acting Minister that period).[36][37] After that Lutsenko resumed at his post.[38]
On 10 June 2011,Bild retracted the report about the events at Frankfurt Airport after being ordered so by theLandgericht Berlin.[39]
Lutsenko was dismissed by the Verkhovna Rada on 28 January 2010.[40][41] The same day he was appointed by the Cabinet as first deputy interior minister and acting interior minister.[40] TheKyiv District Administrative Court suspended the government's decision until the end of an investigation into his appointment, but the Cabinet claimed it had not received any court ruling on the matter.[42] After the fall of thesecond Tymoshenko Government, Lutsenko eventually lost his post as Minister of Internal Affairs on 11 March 2010.[43]
In 2010, Lutsenko became the leader of the partyPeople's Self-Defense Political Party.[44][45]
On 13 December 2010, Lutsenko was charged with abuse of office and forgery byProsecutor General of UkraineViktor Pshonka.[17] On 5 November, it was already announced that Lutsenko faced criminal charges for an alleged financial crime involving a less than $5,000 overpayment to his driver.[46] According to Lutsenko the criminal case against him ispolitical persecution.[47] Pshonka has denied this.[48] Lutsenko was also charged with having signed an order whilst on holiday and not having cancelled the traditional "National Militia Day" despite a general instruction from the then Prime Minister to make budgetary savings where possible.[49] Lutsenko has been jailed since 26 December 2010 inKyiv'sLukyanivka Prison.[50][51] Lutsenko was arrested near his home on 26 December; on 27 December a court ordered his arrest on the grounds that he had been dodging questioning in violation of his written pledge not to leaveKyiv.[52] Three criminal cases opened against him where merged into one on 27 January 2011.[52] Lutsenko went on ahunger strike from 22 April till 24 May 2011 in protest against his "preventive punishment".[53][54]
Lutsenko filed a complaint in a U.S. court on 14 December 2011 against his (Ukrainian) prosecutors, made possible by theAlien Tort Statute, for "illegal arrest and arbitrarily prolonged detention".[55]
On 27 February 2012, after apre-trial detention of 14 months,[56] Lutsenko was sentenced to fours year in jail (with confiscation of his property) forembezzlement andabuse of office.[19][57] Lutsenko immediately after his sentence stated he will appeal against sentence.[58] TheEuropean Commission stated the day of his sentence "signals thecontinuation of trials in Ukraine which do not respect international standards as regards fair, transparent and independent legal process";[59]Spokesperson for the United States Department of StateVictoria Nuland stated the cases raised "serious concerns about thegovernment of Ukraine's commitment to democracy and the rule of law";[60] otherCouncil of Europe member have criticised the sentence in similar wording.[61][62][63][64] In a statement issued by theParliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) right after the verdict of 27 February 2012 Lutsenko was named "the victim of apolitical vendetta";[49] the next day thePresident of PACEJean-Claude Mignon called for his release.[65] Human rights organizations have urged thehigh courts in Ukraine to overturn the verdict against Lutsenko.[66] On 29 February 2012, theEuropean People's Party demanded "immediate release ofYulia Tymoshenko, Yuriy Lutsenko andother political prisoners; it also insisted theAssociation Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union should not be signed and ratified until these demands were met.[67][68] Anappeal to the sentence was filed 7 March 2012.[69] Since the EU has shelved the European Union Association Agreement andDeep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with Ukraine because of the imprisonment of him and Tymoshenko.[70][71]
TheEuropean Court of Human Rights (ECHR) considered a complaint lodged by Lutsenko on 17 April 2012, in which Lutsenko claimed his arrest and the decision on his detention were arbitrary and unlawful.[57] On 3 July 2012, the ECHR stated that the arrest of Lutsenko violated hishuman rights and the court ordered the government of Ukraine to pay €15,000 to Lutsenko as compensation for moral damages.[72][73]
On 17 August 2012, Lutsenko was sentenced to two years in prison for the extension of an investigative case concerningValentyn Davydenko, the driver of formerSecurity Service of Ukraine First Deputy ChiefVolodymyr Satsiuk, as part of an investigation into the poisoning ofthen presidential candidateViktor Yuschenko.[60] TheEuropean Union,[59] theUnited States Department of State,Canada[61] and several human rights organizations[66] protested the sentence and called into question the independence of the legal process that had led to it. He served his time in a prison in the city ofMena.[74] During his imprisonment Lutsenko was moved several times to hospital to receive medical treatment.[75]
Lutsenko lost his appeal on 3 April 2013; this High Court ruling could be challenged in any other Ukrainian court.[76]
The judges of the Higher Specialized Court on Civil and Criminal Cases will on 10 April 2013 announce a ruling on the appeal against the second conviction of Lutsenko regarding the poisoning of former Ukrainian PresidentViktor Yushchenko; this will not influence the term of Lutsenko's imprisonment.[77]
After already having suggested it earlier,[76] President Viktor Yanukovych on 5 April 2013 proposed the presidential commission on pardons urgently to consider the request by Verkhovna Rada Human Rights CommissionerValeriya Lutkovska to pardon Lutsenko.[78] The requests to pardon Lutsenko was made by Ukrainian parliamentary Lutkovska, formerPresident of the European ParliamentPat Cox and formerPolish PresidentAleksander Kwasniewski.[79] Lutkovska asked to pardon Lutsenko "due to the European standards of human rights, which include providing effective medical care to persons detained in prisons".[80] On 7 April 2013, a decree by Yanukovych pardoned Lutsenko (among others) for health reasons and "to decriminalize and humanize Ukrainian legislation"[79] and the same day he was released from prison.[20] The decree also exempted from further punishment Lutsenko's fellow Minister in thesecond Tymoshenko GovernmentHeorhiy Filipchuk.[20] Lutsenko stated the day after his release he will "continue to remain in politics".[81]
Lutsenko and his family had repeatedly stated that they would not seek a pardon, because they believe the charges where groundless and political punishment.[82] Nevertheless, Lutsenko's wifeIryna Lutsenko welcomed the request.[82]
On 8 April 2013, the European Union welcomed the pardons of Lutsenko and Filipchuk, and urged Ukraine to continue addressing "the cases of selective justice".[83]
In the spring of 2013, Lutsenko established the non-parliamentary movement "Third Republic".[84] At the time he was not member of a political party because he is "on a path to the same goal pursued by"Fatherland" from the bottom up and from the people, by organizing a connection between opposition parties and the populace".[7]
In November 2013, Lutsenko became one of the organizers ofEuromaidan.[85][86]
Lutsenko was hospitalised on 11 January 2014 in an intensive care ward after being beaten by police in protests following the sentence of verdicts in the2011 Vasylkiv terror plot.[87][88] Lutsenko had arrived at the courthouse after initial clashes between police and protesters and after 400 riot police had arrived.[89] After the convicts had been transported away, several cars followed the riot police bus and blocked it at Peremohy avenue, near Svyatoshino police station. A crowd soon gathered, demanding from policemen to open their faces and to show their IDs. According to Lutsenko's wife Iryna her husband had been attacked by police as he tried to break up the violence.[90] Lutsenko has received an official status of victim of a crime.[88]
On 17 June 2014, Lutsenko was appointed as (non-staff) adviser to PresidentPetro Poroshenko; he had also been adviser to Poroshenko's predecessor acting PresidentOleksandr Turchynov.[91]
Lutsenko's old partyPeople's Self-Defense Political Party was renamedThird Ukrainian Republic in July 2014; however, Lutsenko was not a member of this revamped People's Self-Defense Political Party.[92]
On 27 August 2014, Lutsenko was elected the leader of thePetro Poroshenko Bloc.[14]
In the2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Lutsenko was re-elected into the Verkhovna Rada after being in the top 10 of the electoral list of Petro Poroshenko Bloc.[93] He then became leader of the party's faction in the Verkhovna Rada.[16]
On 28 August 2015, theUkrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform merged into Petro Poroshenko Bloc.[15] UDAR leaderVitali Klitschko at the same party congress replaced Lutsenko as new party leader.[15]

On 12 May 2016, the Verkhovna Rada appointed Lutsenko asProsecutor General of Ukraine.[11] This followed amendments to legislation which allowed a person to hold the office without a law degree.[11] Lutsenko, who has no law degree,[94] was also stripped of his mandate as a People's Deputy.[11] The appointment was the culmination of nine years of Lutsenko expressing his desire to be appointed to the position, beginning during the2007 Ukrainian political crisis.[95]
From August until December 2016, Lutsenko conducted an investigation into Ukraine-born Russian GRU agentKonstantin Kilimnik, but did not arrest Kilimnik.[96][97][98] Previously, Kilimnik managed Davis Manafort International in Kyiv.[98] Kilimnik had left Ukraine for Russia in June 2016.[96] Davis Manafort International in Kyiv had been accused of money laundering byRobert Mueller'sSpecial Counsel investigation.[99] Mueller considered Kilimnik a vital witness in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[96] TheNational Anti-Corruption Bureau informed theUnited States Department of State that Lutsenko had both thwarted Ukraine's investigation into Kilimink and allowed Kilimnik to leave Ukraine for Russia.[100]
Began in 2017, four investigations intoPaul Manafort by the Head of the Special Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office UkraineSerhiy Horbatyuk were frozen by Lutsenko in April 2018.[96] In January 2018 Horbatyuk sent a letter to Mueller offering to cooperate with leads and evidence, however, Horbatyuk received no return letter from Mueller's special prosecuting team.[96] One investigation using subpoenaed records from banks in Ukraine involved Ukrainian shell company payments to Manafort.[96] Revealed in 2016 bySerhiy Leshchenko, who gave the records to theNational Anti-Corruption Bureau,[101][102][h] the secret bookkeeping of Viktor Yanukovych and the Party of Regions' Black Ledger or Barn Book involved another investigation into Manafort in which the handwritten records of 22 payments to Manafort, nine of which had been signed byVitaly Kalyuzhny who was the Verkhovna Rada's foreign relations committee chairman.[96] Two other investigations of Manafort involve the Skadden Arps law firm's report to imprison Yulia Tymoshenko.[96][99][105] TheNational Anti-Corruption Bureau informed theUnited States Department of State that Lutsenko had thwarted both Ukraine's investigation into Manafort and Mueller's investigations into Manafort.[100]
After Ukrainian politician and activistKateryna Handziuk died from complications from an acid attack on 4 November 2018, human rights organisations and NGOs demanded the resignation of Lutsenko and Interior MinisterArsen Avakov.[106] "To prove that no one clings to power", Lutsenko announced his intention to resign as Prosecutor General on 6 November 2018.[106] He stated he considered the investigation of the case effective and that he was outraged by what he considered "'PR on blood' around the Handziuk case".[106][107] On 9 November 2018, President Petro Poroshenko refused to approve Lutsenko's resignation.[108]
Documents, provided byLev Parnas to theU.S. House Intelligence Committee, outlined text exchanges in which Lutsenko pushed for the ouster of then U.S. Ambassador to UkraineMarie Yovanovitch and offered information related to former U.S. Vice PresidentJoe Biden in return.[109][110] It is thought that Lutsenko targeted Yovanovitch due to her anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine.[111]
Following the2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Lutsenko was dismissed by the Verkhovna Rada on 29 August 2019, and replaced byRuslan Riaboshapka.[1]
In 2019, Lutsenko was a central figure in theTrump–Ukraine scandal after he met multiple times withRudy Giuliani, who at the time was US PresidentDonald Trump's personal lawyer, to try (without success) to find incriminating information onJoe Biden, who was planning to challenge Trump in the next US presidential election.[18] A few months later,Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected president of Ukraine and dismissed Lutsenko from his position as Ukraine's chief prosecutor. Trump pressured Zelenskyy to reinstate Lutsenko and threatened to withhold $400 million in previously approved military and security aid to Ukraine if he did not (in addition to a demand that Zelenskyy announce an investigation into the business activities of Joe Biden's son,Hunter Biden).[100]
In April 2022, 2 months after the beginning of the2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Lutsenko joined theTerritorial Defence Battalion (of theUkrainian Armed Forces) ofMykolaiv.[112]
According to his wife Iryna, Lutsenko was initially in the Territorial Defence Forces ofKyiv during theKyiv offensive, and then took part in theBattle of Mykolaiv,2022 Kherson counteroffensive,Battle of Soledar and theBattle of Bakhmut.[10][9]
In early 2023, Lutsenko was promoted to the rank ofKapitan.[10] On 20 February 2023Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of UkraineValerii Zaluzhnyi appointed Lutsenko as thecommander of anunmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platoon.[10] The platoon was involved in the Battle of Bakhmut and was forced to withdraw from the city on 4 March 2023.[9]
On 5 July 2023 Lutsenko announced that he would no longer serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as he was removed fromconscription due to an establisheddisability.[21][113] Lutsenko did not disclose the nature of the disability,[21] but stated he would "work towards victory as a volunteer".[21]
Lutsenko's wifeIryna Lutsenko was elected into parliament in the2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election on the party list of"Fatherland" (number 18).[114] She served in parliament until 2019.[115]
In the2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Iryna Lutsenko tried to get re-elected into parliament; this time by placing 70th on the electoral list of Petro Poroshenko Bloc. However, as the Petro Poroshenko Bloc gained only 63 seats by electoral list, Lutsenko was unsuccessful.[116][117] After fellow Petro Poroshenko Bloc members left the Verkhovna Rada, she returned as a People's Deputy on 27 January 2015.[118] In the2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, she was re-elected forEuropean Solidarity as 25th on the electoral list, but resigned in November 2019 for health reasons.[115] Her mandate was officially terminated on 12 November 2019.[115]
In 2020 Lutsenko underwentcancer treatment inGermany.[113] He was operated on and hadchemotherapy.[113]
