Several other officials resigned as well, the latest being the financial monitoring director. This raised questions: Had they also left due to pressure? Or did Smolii’s successor Kyrylo Shevchenko ask them to leave in order to bring his own team into the central bank?

We are joined by staff writer Igor Kossov.
