President Viktor Yanukovych dissolved the Presidential Secretariat and reinstated the Presidential Administration to resolve the staffing issue. He decided that if there is no Presidential Secretariat, it cannot have a functioning staff. Motivated by this, the new president reinstated the name of this body under the Kuchma regime, which was cancelled in 2005 by ex-president Viktor Yushchenko. Despite this, the first appointments to the reinstated Presidential Administration show that the functions and the structure of the body remain unchanged.
Ukraine continues to float somewhere in between a full-fledged parliamentary republic and presidential republic. Therefore, the president’s apparatus will continue to duplicate the Cabinet and impede the ministries and departments from fulfilling their tasks. Then the war of personal ambitions and clans will start again and in the end we not have effective governance in the country just as it was before.
