Replacement of technocratic ministers by politicians in Ukrainian govt would be mistake

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt objects to the idea of replacing technocratic government ministers in Ukraine with politicians.

"Dangerous voices saying 'We've had enough of technocratic ministers & professional governance; it's time for politicians to take reins'," Pyatt said on Twitter on Tuesday.

"Would be enormous mistake, fuel Kremlin effort to mischaracterize UA [Ukraine] as failing instead of as emerging democracy," Pyatt said.
