Specifically, Zelenskyy allegedly reacted negatively to the IMF&#8217;s demands for a number of unpopular measures in exchange for an $8.1 billion financing program for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"984\"> The program&#8217;s conditions included tax increases, which drew criticism from Ukrainian parliamentarians and the public. According to Bloomberg, Zelenskyy was dissatisfied with Ukraine&#8217;s concessions in negotiations with the Fund and blamed them on several officials, including Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko and former Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"1149\"> Another complaint from the president, according to sources, is that the NBU, under Pyshnyy&#8217;s leadership, is allegedly not actively supporting the Ukrainian economy during the war.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1471\"> Zelenskyy also seems irritated by Pyshnyi&#8217;s excessive publicity. The NBU governor&#8217;s social media activity, particularly posts about meetings with Ukrainian officials and international donors, as well as the National Bank&#8217;s PR initiatives, according to the president, are more reminiscent of a politician&#8217;s behavior than that of a technocratic central banker.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1473\" data-end=\"1698\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"> At the same time, Bloomberg sources note that Zelenskyy has no immediate plans to fire Pyshnyy. They also say the president doesn&#8217;t see a sufficiently strong candidate to replace the current NBU governor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"full-post__content font-rules\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"full-post__content font-rules\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"qMYqUG_convSearchResultHighlightRoot\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:b10a536e-4b62-46d3-8064-d7871f4feb19-1\" data-is-intersecting=\"true\">\n<section class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [&#038;:has([data-writing-block])>*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(&#8211;scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(&#8211;thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(&#8211;header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]&#8221; dir=&#8221;auto&#8221; data-turn-id=&#8221;request-WEB:b10a536e-4b62-46d3-8064-d7871f4feb19-1&#8243; data-turn-id-container=&#8221;request-WEB:b10a536e-4b62-46d3-8064-d7871f4feb19-1&#8243; data-testid=&#8221;conversation-turn-4&#8243; data-turn=&#8221;assistant&#8221;><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-8 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" data-conversation-screenshot-content=\"\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden has-[>_:empty]:hidden&#8221;><\/p>\n<div><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"305\" data-is-last-node=\"\"> Also follow <strong>&#8220;Pryamy&#8221;<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is reportedly dissatisfied with the performance of National Bank of Ukraine Governor Andriy Pyshnyy, but is not yet considering his dismissal.
