Danylyuk has resigned

UKRAINE - In Brief 30 Sep 2019 by Dmytro Boyarchuk

Danylyuk was among the key persons who initiated nationalization of Privatbank and he was apparently resisting any efforts for potential reverse. Large budget allocated on the National Security Council at the budget project 2020 was seen as a signal that political influence of Alex Danylyuk is still substantial.
