Kolomoyskiy removed from position as Governor
Kolomoyskiy removed from position as Governorthe oiligarch, Kolomoyskiy, stepped down as governor of a central region. Poreshenko appointed head of another region as temporary governor. They must have reached some tentative deal.
I also notice that the guy Poreshenko appointed as head of the Ukrnafta is now only the temporary head.. Kolomoyskiy had called him a russian sympathizer. Now the new head of Ukrnafta will be hired publically with more visibility on the process. I think Proshemko is playing on Kolomoyskiy's desire to keep the central region as part of Ukraine. That seems to be the thin sliver of commonality that they share. Beyond that, these two will probably clash again.
Public arrests of the head of Emergency services and his deputy. The Ukranians are trying their best to show they are making progress on changes to fight corruption.
The head of Stratfor is spinning the decline of Russia and Putin's grip on power. Says the Russian economy is hurting and that outlying regions are talking more about seceding as the money flows from Moscow slow down. Putin will have a tough time holding on to power over the next 1-2 years despite the high public poll ratings right now.
Lots of interesting stuff going on.
