Another well-known pro-Western reformer dropped out of the government yesterday, when President Zelensky replaced Aivaras Abromavičius as director-general of UkrOboronProm, the state-owned defense production conglomerate. His successor is Ihor Fomenko, a top member of the Abromavičius team. The choice won cautious praise from the Independent Anti-Corruption Defense Committee, or NAKO. This Kyiv-based think tank wrote on Facebook: “The NAKO team sincerely hopes that under Fomenko, the corporatization reforms and the inception of anti-graft standards of the OECD will continue to be effectively introduced.”
