    Mikheil Saakashvili has lashed out at Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his Cabinet, saying that they are sabotaging economic, customs and other reforms and serve oligarchs’ interests.

    Saakashvili, the ex-Georgian President who became Odesa Oblast governor in May, has launched sweeping changes.

    He has cracked down on corruption at the customs office and is planning to introduce faster registration procedures, cut government staff, increase their wages and replace them with new people.

    Yet now all these changes, as well as reforms nationwide, are being scuttled by the Cabinet, he argues.
    […]
    Now the government is paralyzed,” Saakashvili said. “There must be a total reset of the Ukrainian government on all levels.

      Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk dismissed Odesa regional administration chief and former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili’s claims that Ukrainian oligarchs control the executive branch.

      I would like to address the head of the Odesa regional state administration: I understand all his emotionality, and I understand what hard times he is having now. It’s hard for everyone. We all are united here, and therefore emotions and groundless accusations play only into the hands of those who are against reforms and against real changes in Ukraine. It is even more unseemly for a former president to resort to lying accusations. But I am his first ally,’ Yatseniuk said at a news briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
