The question is not will oligarchs control Ukraine, but which oligarchs will be in control. Poroshenko is a Kiev oligarch allied with Vlitali Klitschko, mayor of Kiev. Poroshenko's move to dissolve parliament cuts out the representatives of Yulia Timoshenko, a Dnepropetrovsk oligarch. The Kiev and Dnepropetrovsk oligarchs are rival clans.

You also have the Russian Oligarchs seeking to make Kiev their “Base”...meaning those who Putin booted out of Russia.
I agree it’s about which ones will in the end rule the day. For part of the Eastern Ukraine conflict has had much to do with the Oligarchs, many “outsiders” were actively involved and or supporting the conflict.
