Exiled Ukraine Premier Seeks to Regain Power, Though Not Crimea

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, who’s formed a government-in-exile to try to regain power, said his country is ripe for more regime change.

Amid economic crisis and conflict in the country’s east, Ukrainians are disillusioned with the pro-European policies of President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Azarov said. He’d restore economic ties and open borders with Russia once in power, though he isn’t ready to demand the return of Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in March last year.
