Who wins: Akhmetov or Yanukovych family?:
"Ukraine will possibly trade in Azarov’s resignation for the IMF credit, observers say. There are two likely candidates for premiership, Oleksandr Vilkul, Renat Akhmetov’s protégé, and Serhy Arbuzob, an insider of the Yanukovych family, Radio Svoboda reports Aug. 2.
Moscow’s Nezavisimaya gazeta predicts that Yanukovych is looking for a replacement for Premier Azarov as the country’s economic situation is on the verge of taking very unpopular decisions in order to get the $15 billion IMF credit.
The main payments of Ukraine’s massive foreign debt fall for 2013-2014, and Kyiv has to accept the IMF demands to regulate the economy by taking belt-tightening steps, something which will hit the populace hardest.
In this situation, Pres Yanukovych will have to dump Premier Azarov in the fall.
Both contenders for premiership, Arbuzov and Vilkul, are now moving into high gear. "
