“There likely won’t be any more [IMF] tranches distributed to Ukraine, unless the new NBU Governor is acceptable to the IMF and its conditions are met,” Robert Homans writes in a bne IntelliNews article headlined: “Smoliy’s Resignation and the soft coup underway in Ukraine.” “The definition of a “soft coup” is a forcible change of government control but without the use of physical force,” he writes. Listing ‘Euromaidan Reformers’ who have been purged from the government in the last 90 days, he concludes: “These developments potentially increase the flow of graft in Ukraine, for the likely benefit of the coup plotters, a flow that was staunched by many of those who have been removed from their posts.”
