Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk did not say that he is going to resign, when addressing the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament, with a report of the government's work in 2015.

His speech was delivered as part of the Ukrainian government’s reporting on Feb. 16.

When addressing the parliament, Yatsenyuk requested to give him five minutes on top of the allotted time, as this might be his last speech in the Verkhovna Rada.

Verkhovna Rada Speaker Volodymyr Hroisman replied to him: “Why are you so pessimistic?”

It was reported earlier that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko made a statement on Tuesday, calling for the total replacement of Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers based on the current coalition, with participation of the People’s Front.
