Bloomberg: Ukraine’s President Dismisses Key Governor in ‘Oligarch Crisis’
(Bloomberg) -- Ukraine’s president dismissed the billionaire governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, escalating a clash that may complicate the government’s efforts to counter pro-Russian rebels and fix an economy devastated by war.
President Petro Poroshenko, himself the owner of a chocolate confectionery empire, signed a dismissal order for Igor Kolomoisky, Ukraine’s third richest man with a net worth of $1.36 billion estimated by Forbes. The order, in which the president officially accepted Kolomoisky’s resignation, came after the former governor’s security guards barricaded the headquarters of a state oil company last week.
WNU Editor: This is causing bad feelings on all sides. Presdietn Poroshenko has obviously made the calculation that Igor Kolomoisky and his private army need to be stopped .... and stopped now.
