At long, long, long last Yushchenko has finally fired his do-nothing Prosecutor General:

Report: Yushchenko sacks beleaguered Pyskun
Associated Press, 14 October 2005

AP-President Viktor Yushchenko sacked beleaguered Prosecutor-General Svyatoslav Pyskun on Oct. 14, the Interfax news agency reported.

Earlier this week, Pyskun's office launched two investigations targeting Petro Poroshenko, a close ally of the president and former head of the Security and Defense Council.

Yushchenko last week appointed one of Pyskun's biggest critics, Serhiy Holovatiy, as justice minister, and Holovatiy had since called for Pyskun's ouster.

Pyskun had threatened to fight in court in case of his dismissal. Analysts have suggested that if fired, Pyskun could become a prominent ally of ousted Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and an aggressive critic of Yushchenko and the president's circle.

It's a perplexing AP article, though. First I don't understand is why the AP is calling him beleaguered, as if his getting fired was a political casualty, rather than a response to his clear uselessness. Second, while I suppose anything is possible after a Yushchenko-Yanukovych agreement and Tymoshenko waxing on about Putin, I still doubt Pyskun is high on Tymoshenko's list of potential allies.
