Perspective

Kravchuk was born to a family involved in medicine in Ternopil[1] in 1985.[citation needed] She is a graduate in journalism from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.[1]

She is a member of the ruling Servant of the People political party and she was an elected deputy of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) in 2019.[1][2] She became the Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy.[3]

She is a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe’s (PACE) Culture Committee where she has argued that Russia's erasure of Ukrainian identity constitutes a "genocide policy".[4] At a PACE meeting in June 2024 the committee supported a report made by Kravchuk which condemned as a war-crime the "Russification of children, the rewriting of history textbooks... and destroying cultural heritage".[5]

In 2024 she was appointed to the supervisory board of the Ukrainian Institute.[3]

In 2024 Anastasia Trofimova's film Russians at War was released. It looks at the Ukrainian war from a Russian perspective[6][7] and it is accused on ignoring war crimes. Kravchuk said the film is a "striking example of how Russia, thanks to its soft power, is trying to promote its narratives about a ‘more comprehensive understanding of the war’. And unfortunately, they are doing this quite successfully."[8]

Ukraine decided to join the International Criminal Court in 2024 to expedite charges against Russian invaders of Ukraine. Controversially Kravchuk was quoted for noting that a clause in the agreement would protect Ukrainians from similar charges for seven years.[9]
