A close aide to President Viktor Yushchenko who was a chief organizer of the "Orange Revolution" protests said Monday he had resigned from the government because of systemic corruption around the Ukrainian leader. Oleksandr Zinchenko, who resigned Saturday, said the situation had grown "even worse" than under former President Leonid Kuchma. Zinchenko accused Petro Poroshenko, the head of Ukraine's Defense and Security Council, of being one of the most corrupt members of the government. He also criticized Oleksandr Tretyakov, a top aide to Yushchenko, and Mykola Martynenko, who heads the pro-presidential faction in parliament.
