Directorate of Ukraine - Members

Members

Vynnychenko left the government in hope for the Directory to establish friendly talks with representatives of the Entante while Petliura left the SDPists, thus demonstrating that the Ukrainian government has changed its political agenda and is not the same that signed the treaty in Brest-Litovsk. In light of that a new Prime-Minister was appointed as well, Serhiy Ostapenko who headed his non-socialist government on February 11, 1919. When the talks have failed Ostapenko was replaced by Borys Martos on April 9, 1919.

1. Volodymyr Vynnychenko (Esdek, Chairman; November 14, 1918 - February 11, 1919)
2. Symon Petliura (Esdek, delegate of the Sich Riflemen. Chairman, February 11, 1919 - November 10, 1920)
3. Fedir Shvets (Non-Partisan member, delegate of the Peasant Associations)
4. Andrii Makarenko (Non-Partisan member, delegate of the Railway Workers)
5. Opanas Andrievsky (UPSI)

• Shvets and Makarenko left the country on the state matters on November 15, 1919, but on the Petliura's request May 21, 1920 to return they never responded and were excluded from their duties and obligations.
• Andrievsky quit the Directory because of the Otaman Volodymyr Oskilko Affair (April 29, 1919).
• Yevhen Petrushevych, the dictator of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, joined the Directory, in accordance with a resolution of the Labor Congress, but he did not actually participate in the Directory's work and eventually resigned from it.
