Ukraine's oligarchs and overall economy is tied much closer to Russia for historical and geopolitical reasons. The West is kind of farther away on both these things, so not really.

Even Yulia "Gas Princess" Tymoshenko and Petro "Chocolate King" Poroshenko made huge chunks of their fortune dealing with Russia. Yulia was tossed into prison over allegations for corruption in a gas deal with Russia, not Europe. There's a reason for that.

......Yulia “Gas Princess” Tymoshenko and Petro “Chocolate King” Poroshenko made huge chunks of their fortune dealing with Russia......

That’s correct....not to mention these two had a major falling out while they were serving in the Keiv Gov. Yulia will do what is necessary to retain and or regain power within Ukraine. It will be interesting to see if she will have a roll in the Gov. or not this time around.

For now Yats will remain the Prime Minister according to Porsh. These two have worked together in the past Ukraine Gov. Yats is the “money man” or Banker Buddy. He’s the one who got Ukraine’s gold out of Ukraine the first week.

I don’t think they want to give Yulia a role...she is was known to be divisive and a pain in getting things done. I don’t think they want to deal with her again. However they might have to.
