In another personnel change, the Cabinet fired on Friday Olha Buslavets, the acting Energy Minister, replacing her with Yuriy Boyko, her deputy at the Ministry. Buslavets had served as acting minister for the last seven months as the government did not have the votes to win parliamentary approval. Some media outlets and some Rada members accused her of acting in favor of Rinat Akhmetov, owner of several coal mines and electricity generation companies. Boyko, a longterm state employee previously was deputy director of Energorynok, the state-owned company that intermediated between energy producers and energy distributing companies, or oblenergos.
