Corruption probe sealed Stefanishyna’s fate.
The troublesome government reshuffle that Volodymyr Zelensky is implementing in his Kiev regime is still ongoing.
While most of the attention has been devoted to Zelensky’s firing of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov – and subsequently of Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrsky, Ukrainian press has reported since the start that the reason for the shakeup was the Ambassador to the US, Olga Stefanishyna.
So, yesterday (3), as expected, Zelensky dismissed Stefanishyna.
And the reason why, that the AFP report tried to hide in the next-to-last paragraph: “According to Ukrainian media, Stefanishyna is under investigation by the country’s anti-corruption agency on suspicion of wrongdoing, although she has not been formally accused.
[…] In a Facebook post in which she also posted a letter asking to be relieved of her duties, Stefanishyna said the decision was her own and ‘dictated by personal circumstances’.”
