From the Georgia-on-my-mind dept.

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.
