Viktor Pavlovych Pshonka (Ukrainian: Віктор Павлович Пшонка, Russian: Виктор Павлович Пшонка; born 6 February 1954) is a politician from Ukraine, who served as Prosecutor General of Ukraine from 2010[3] to 2014. He was also the State Counselor of Justice of Ukraine and member of the High Council of Justice of Ukraine.[4][5] He holds a Doctor of Laws degree, and is a member of the International Association of Prosecutors.[5]

During his tenure as General Prosecutor, Pshonka focused on modernisation, environmental standards and is noted for starting an investigation into Burisma. He is believed to have fled to Russia, and later taken up its citizenship, following the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution.[6] The new authorities have issued an arrest warrant in his name.[7]
