Meanwhile, one key opponent of the Motor Sich sale to China is stepping out of the fray this month. Aivaras Abromavičius is awaiting President Zelenskiy’s approval to resign as head of state-controlled arms producer Ukroboronprom, Bloomberg reported yesterday in an article titled “Ukrainian Politics Again Get the Better of a Would-Be Reformer.” While not having direct control over the aircraft engine maker, Abromavičius has been an influential voice opposing ceding the company to Chinese control. He tells Bloomberg: “A fight is underway for which vector development of Ukraine will take, western or eastern.”
