About it reports the RBC-Ukraine website.
“We talked about this yesterday with the Prime Minister and changes in the power team, and changes in the government, and any changes - I will take this decision for granted. The decision is up to the coalition,” Poroshenko said.
According to the Ukrainian website “Apostrophe”, The Poroshenko administration is considering the following option for reformatting the Cabinet of Ministers: Natalya Yaresko is the prime minister, Igor Kononenko (MP from the BPP) is her first deputy, Mikheil Saakashvili is the deputy prime minister for reforms.
“In principle, everyone is interested in Saakashvili joining the government. They see it as a good political technology for the authorities. It is expected that it will give impetus to reform activities in the country and will informationally remove the negativity at least for some time,” say Apostrophe’s government sources.
Let us recall, as PolitNavigator previously reported, key decisions on personnel issues in Kyiv are made in agreement with the US Embassy.
“The Cabinet of Ministers and the Rada are increasingly saying that future possible resignations and appointments should be coordinated by the country’s leadership with the US Embassy. In America we have seen the evaluation parameters of the work of ministers. We understand that among those who are satisfied are the Prime Minister, Natalya Yaresko (Head of the Ministry of Finance), the Minister of Economy (Aivaras Abromavicius), the Minister of Agriculture (Aleksey Pavlenko), who promised to privatize the land, and the Minister of Transport (Andrei Pivovarsky). American and European businesses have their own interests, and they do not hide it,” Nikolai Tomenko, people’s deputy from the Poroshenko Bloc, told RBC-Ukraine.
RBC-Ukraine's interlocutors in the Cabinet of Ministers also confirm that the US Embassy controls the work of the Ukrainian government.
