John E. Herbst: The motivations behind Poroshenko’s new anticorruption drive
UKROP Party supporters gathered outside the the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, in Kyiv on Nov. 3 to demand to release of party leader Hennadiy Korban.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's government appears to have launched a new anticorruption drive with the Oct. 31 detention of Gennadiy Korban, a close associate of oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky and the leader of Ukrop, a political party funded by Kolomoisky. The authorities arrested Korban following an investigation that began last year into the assault on government official Serhiy Rudyk and the poisoning of Dnipropetrovsk Prosecutor General Roman Fedik.
