KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine will soon begin mass firings of state officials who served under disgraced Moscow-backed leader Viktor Yanukovich and feathered their nests through corruption, the government said on Friday.
Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, with an eye to a Oct. 26 parliamentary election that Ukraine's pro-Western leaders hope will turn a new page in the country's murky post-independence history, unveiled plans for a "full clean-out" of government, law enforcement, the courts and state security.
