Ukraine's American Finance Minister Now Demands PM Yatsenyuk's Job or Else
Jaresko has now indicated she wants to be named prime minister or she will likely resign bringing upon Ukraine the displeasure of the IMF

What happens when you combine the universally fashionable clamoring for technocratic rule of "experts" with the uniquely Eastern European worship of a mythical wise and competent west? You get a strong likelihood your "democracy" will look suspiciously like rule by foreigners who never stood for election in your country, never mind won any.
Welcome to Kiev 2016.
Ukraine's 2014 post-Maidan party elections passed withoutNatalie Jaresko. She wasn't on any of the party lists as she was not eligible to run being a US citizen. She was placed in charge of the country's finances, regardless, largely on her prestige as an 'American expert'.
Now she is throwing down the gauntlet, and making a play to be handed over the running of the entire government. Her selling point?Only a "technocratic" government composed of people without "future political ambitions" can deliver Ukraine from its sorry present state:
There comes a time when politics needs to be great, so that the whole country comes together to address fundamental issues for its future.
In my opinion, only technocratic government can address these challenges. The new team must 'belong' to nobody other than the people of Ukraine.
New leaders should have no political past or, indeed, have no desire for any political future. The team must not be subject to the domination of the oligarchs or any politicians’ ‘friends’.
I am ready to assemble such a team that right now is able to work in the interest of the whole country, all its citizens, not some political or business groups.
In other words, oligarch Poroshenko get out of the way so that expert Jaresko can fix the mess.
Trouble with that is that Poroshenko and his crony Groysman who is the Parliament speaker and the other candidate to replace Yatsenyuk as PM have at least been elected to something, while Jaresko has never even stood as a candidate.
The other trouble is that beneath the nice talk of "the whole country coming together" and "working in the interest of the whole country" there is an implicit threat in Jaresko's play:
The stakes are higher now because if Jaresko is not given the top job, she may well resign. This would have an even bigger impact than Abromavicius’ departure, as she has been so high profile during the negotiations to restructure Ukraine’s debt and in a fight with Russia over a $3bn Eurobond that Kyiv is refusing to repay.
That's right. Jaresko wants to bring the whole country together (under her) and work for all its citizens (as their boss), but if she isn't given the chance then she will take her toys and go home and let Ukraine fend for itself.
What would that mean in practice is that Ukraine would be cut off from any future IMF money:
She is by far the favourite of Ukraine’s international donors, who are already extremely unhappy with the lack of change or visible commitment to reform in Ukraine.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF)de facto suspended Ukraine’s stand-by agreement without formally saying so, and has not made a transfer for five months now.
The last tranche of $1.7bn was supposed to come in February following the government’s adoption of an IMF-compliant tax code, butAbromavicius’ departure started a fresh political crisis that has put everyone off.
Appointing Jaresko PM would end this crisis and should avoid the need for calling early elections.
Jareskopresents herself as being the ultimate outsider beholden to no one, but actually she is looked upon favorably by Ukraine's western creditors (erroneously described as "donors").
Far from being an independent operator without a clan of her own it only so happens that her connections are to power centers outside rather than within Ukraine.
Now the former US State Department official is leveraging the ties to western finance to its maximum to try and take control of the government for herself and the outside interests she represents.
In fact two of her key demands for any members of the new government under her are that they have no loyalties to any Ukrainian parties:
1. Members of the government should be devoted exclusively to serving the people of Ukraine; not themselves nor their party nor vested interests. The main criterion for team members is impeccable reputation;
And that they cooperate with the IMF:
4. They all should believe that Ukraine can be successful only through democratic and economic freedoms, in particular, through the implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and IMF program;
So Ukrainians, do you want the Poroshenko candidate, or the IMF candidate?
Ukraine's neo-'Nazis' cannot be nationalists in favour of independence, or Ukraine wouldn't be run by a bunch of Americans and their Ukraine oligarch puppets.

Ukraine has imposed a moratorium on the $3 billion Russian debt repayment, said the country’s Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk at a cabinet meeting on Friday. The announcement comes ahead of the December 20 deadline for the debt repayment.
"Considering that Russia has refused, despite our efforts, to sign an agreement on restructuring and to accept our proposals, the cabinet is imposing a moratorium on payment of the Russian debt worth $3 billion," said Yatsenyuk.

A top problem of Ukraine has been corruption and cronyism, so it may raise eyebrows that new Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko, an ex-U.S. diplomat and newly minted Ukrainian citizen, was involved in insider dealings while managing a $150 million U.S. AID-backed investment fund, writes Robert Parry.
Ukraine’s new Finance Minister Natalie Jaresko, a former U.S. State Department officer who was granted Ukrainian citizenship only this week, headed a U.S. government-funded investment project for Ukraine that involved substantial insider dealings, including $1 million-plus fees to a management company that she also controlled.
Jaresko served as president and chief executive officer of Western NIS Enterprise Fund (WNISEF), which was created by the U.S. Agency for International Development (U.S. AID) with $150 million to spur business activity in Ukraine. She also was cofounder and managing partner of Horizon Capital which managed WNISEF’s investments at a rate of 2 to 2.5 percent of committed capital, fees exceeding $1 million in recent years, according to WNISEF’s 2012 annual report.

Given the collapsing Ukrainian economy since the Feb. 22 coup, the value of the fund is likely to have slipped even further. (Efforts to get more recent data from WNISEF’s and Horizon Capital’s Web sites were impossible Friday because the sites were down.)
Beyond the long list of “related party transactions” in the annual report, there also have been vague allegations of improprieties involving Jaresko from one company insider, her ex-husband, Ihor Figlus. But his whistle-blowing was shut down by a court orderissued at Jaresko’s insistence.
John Helmer, a longtime foreign correspondent in Russia, disclosed the outlines of this dispute in an article examining Jaresko’s history as a recipient of U.S. AID’s largesse and how it enabled her to become an investment banker via WNISEF, Horizon Capital and Emerging Europe Growth Fund.

The US-picked Ukraine President, billionaire oligarch Petro Poroshenko called “snap” elections at the end of August for October 26. He did so to make sure genuine opposition to his regime of murderers, gangsters and in some cases outright Nazis would be able to push an unprepared genuine opposition out of the Verkhovna Rada or Parliament. Because the parliament had significant opposition parties to the US-engineered February 22 coup d’Etat, they had blocked many key pieces of legislation that the Western vultures were demanding, from changing key land ownership laws to privatization of precious state assets. By law, the old parliament would have sat until its five year term ended in October, 2017. That was clearly too long for State Department neo-con Ukraine puppet-mistress Victoria Nuland and her backers in Washington.
Anyone interested in Ukraine really ought to have a read of this article.
Some good background information on the newly appointed foreigners in government: Natalie Jaresko, Aivaras Abromavicius and Alexander Kvitashvili.
Personal highlights:
"blatant foreign takeover that followed, like a Wall Street vulture fund raid on a distressed debtor country of the Third World"
"the age of no nation state, of private capital taking over the world for sake of profit. Looting über alles is the motto."
"nation of Ukraine is being put on the auction bloc to be privatized anyway, so it makes sense that the auctioneers at the US State Department head-hunt the ones to do the inside job of preparing that auction"
"What [Natalie] Jaresko did not say was that she had been sent to Ukraine 22 years before as a member of the US State Department."
"former CIA spokeswoman Marie Harf has already denied Washington had any hand in her appointment. Of course she would never lie."
"According to the official US Government propaganda site, Radio Free Europe—the old CIA Cold War propaganda news service still exists, with its old name as kind of a sick joke—"
Another good article to check out is:
Is Soros Paying the Salaries of Ukraine’s Foreigners-Ministers?
If he isn't, his Renaissance Foundation found them and faciliated their hiring
Not only did the Renaissance Foundation take on the head hunting and hiring activities, sources in the region are saying that the foundation is being kind enough to also take on the salaries of the newly minted Ukrainian Ministers.
It is noteworthy in this context that the ministers will be paid their wages not from the Ukrainian budget but from a certain Western foundation (according to some reports, George Soros’ Renaissance foundation).
It gets better. Not only is George Soros acting as head hunter, hiring manager, and apparently paymaster to the new ministers, but Soros foundation grants also helped the new Public Health Minister get his degree.
Foreign Hires don't stop with the abovementioned trio. Ukraine's government has also appointed these foreigners:
Catherine Zghuladze from Georgia - job as deputy Interior Minister. [here]
Ronald W. Glensor (retired assist. chief of Reno Police Dept Nevada) to train patrol & traffic police. [here]
Thought it was cool how there's a strong link between Aivaras Abromavicius (newly minted Economy Minister) and Sweden, which is at the forefront of the neo-con lobbying for European integration:
Aivaras Abromavicius based in Kyiv Estonia + US educ. East Capital (investment management co), partner EC = 6 owners HQ Stockholm
East Capital manages abt 31 billion in total of 21 funds. Carl Bildt served as an advisor to the East Capital to 2006
East Capital
award for the best Russian fund during 2000-2010
with a total return of 1261 percent (USD)
Yes, it's a tenuous link. But it is nontheless a link that I find quite interesting.
And would you check out the return on the Russian fund. If Ukraine is getting raped, the return figure looks like Russia's been g*ng b*nged.
