Ukraine’s economy minister Sheremeta offers resignation

KYIV (Reuters) – Ukraine’s Economy Minister Pavlo Sheremeta said in a text message to Reuters on Thursday that he had offered to resign.

Indicating frustration at not being able to push ahead with economic reform, Sheremeta — was appointed soon after the ousting of a Moscow-backed president in February — said separately on his Facebook page that he no longer wanted to “fight against yesterday’s system”.
