Ukraine's Economic Development Minister Abromavicius resigning due to opposition to reforms

Economic Development and Trade Minister Aivaras Abromavicius has announced his decision to resign because of the lack of support and the active opposition to the reforms which are carried out by his team.

"Today, I have decided to resign from the post of minister. The reason is a sharp intensification of blocking of any systemic and important reforms in our country," he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday.

"It is not just the lack of support or political will. These are rigorous actions aimed at paralyzing our work on reforms starting from unexpected removal of the security guards of the minister and his family ending with implanting of shady characters into my team and imposing them to key positions in state-run enterprises," Abromavicius added.
