UDAR faction leader Vitali Klitschko has called on Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to "give an instruction" to the parliament to vote for a resolution on the return to the 2004 Constitution and said that the opposition is ready to take responsibility for the formation of a new government.

“I am appealing to the Ukrainian president: please remove the Berkut
and Interior Troops from the streets and give an instruction to
parliament – it must vote and support an act on returning to the 2004
Constitution,” he said at a press briefing on Tuesday.

Klitschko said that the president as a responsible politician should
announce early presidential and parliamentary elections. He said that
such actions “will reduce the temperature” in society.

He said that the opposition was ready to take responsibility for the formation of a government.

“The parliament should form a new government, and we, as the
opposition, are ready to take responsibility for its formation,”
Klitschko said.
