The resignation of Ukraine's police chief and a customs officer on November 13 is that latest twist in the country's exodus of reformist officials.

As reported by the Reuters news agency, Police chief Khatia Dekanoidze, a Georgian who was appointed on the strength of her reforms as a minister in Tbilisi, said political meddling in appointments had thwarted her efforts to bring meaningful change.

Yulia Marushevska, a 27-year-old who was appointed in 2015 to end rampant bribe-taking at the Odessa port customs, also resigned, accusing the government and her boss of blocking her reforms.

It's looking like the crisis could continue for some time as an internal power struggle goes on and on:
