This Monday, the president of the conference and head of the Agency for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, Mustafa Nayyem, announced his resignation, citing “systemic barriers”preventing him from effectively carrying out his duties.
The Ukrainian government did not immediately respond to Nayyem’s statements.
