Ukraine president Petro Poroshenko says he will not let oligarchs sow 'chaos'

Kiev (AFP) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Saturday pledged to stop oligarchs from sowing "chaos" after the governor of a key industrial region quit following a row over a state oil firm.

Billionaire Igor Kolomoisky reluctantly offered to step down this week as governor of the key industrial region of Dnipropetrovsk after a dispute over control of the country's largest oil producer ended up with armed men storming the offices of two state-controlled oil firms.

The word on the street is the US wants Kolomisky out.  We know how awesome this FP team is.

It is therefore likely that Dnepro will suffer more instability in the future.

No, he has been involved in some pretty sleazy schemes recently, and has been targeted by those wanting to enrich themselves.  Poroshenko also is not immune.


The BH predicted this at the very start of Euromaidan.  It just came sooner than he anticipated.

Our US foreign policy team has no track record of success and no moral rights to make demands on anyone.

People on this forum particularly those allegedly pro-Ukrainian have slandered Poroshenko.  But whatever his faults, the majority of Ukrainians in all districts voted for him.  If I have to live with a POG like BHO, you can deal with Petro.
