Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko expects efficient work from the government.

“I think when the matter concerns the fate of the state, we are not talking about games, and we are talking about the effective interaction of authorities. I think in the near future we’ll see quite effective steps,” the president told journalists, commenting on the situation in the government related with the withdrawal by the ministers of their resignation letters.

As reported, on Feb. 4, 2016 some ministers withdrew their previously filed resignation letters. For instance, resignation letters were revoked by Minister of Agricultural Policy and Food Oleksiy Pavlenko, Information Policy Minister Yuriy Stets, Health Minister Alexander Kvitashvili, and Infrastructure Minister Andriy Pyvovarsky. However, they put forward a number of conditions under which they are ready to continue work in the government.
