Powerful Ukrainian Governor Kolomoyskiy Resigns

Moody's has downgraded Ukraine's "long-term issuer and government debt ratings to Ca from Caa3" with a "negative" outlook. The ratings agency said in a press release that its move "reflects Moody's expectation that Ukraine's government and external debt levels will remain very high, in spite of the debt restructuring and plans to introduce reforms."

Interfax quotes Verkhovna Rada lawmaker Borys Filatov as saying the deputy head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional state administration, Hennadiy Korban, has also resigned following the overnight resignation and dismissal of Governor Ihor Kolomoyskiy.
