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:

But an American billionaire "entrepreneur" invested 14 billion US dollars into the overthrow of that barely functional government, and established a government more to his liking.
Do you have a name? A link to this? Seriously, I want to read it.
Or is this an oblique way of not saying "Obama?"
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

The "regime change" had Obamal's blessing, but he didn't engineer any of it. He's only a marginal influence in the whole thing.
In no particular order, here are some interesting links regarding George Soros and Ukraine.

That last one - here's a small snippet from it: "Soros, the billionaire philanthropist known in Eastern Europe for financing color revolutions"
Of course, Soros and the left put an entirely different spin on those huge investments. If you listen to them, not a single Soros dollar was used to pay thugs, assassins, or military provocateurs. But, 14 billion dollars. That's a lot of influence bought.
