"Neither the World Bank nor the IMF did the work that had been foreseen ... to shift the government towards reforms," the newspaper quoted Yuschenko as saying.Tymoshenko, in turn, accused Yuschenko of trying to sabotage her presidential bid and her efforts to pull the country out of recession.
Interfax-Ukraine discusses a recent FT article on Yushchenko. The president apparently didn't feel that the IMF and World Bank were pushing the government hard enough in implementing reform. (The World Bank just approved a loan to Ukraine.) He may have point, like he had a point on the gas negotiations last year. However, his comments are also just another reminder of the political bickering that's defined their relationship.
