Arseniy Yatseniuk, the head of the Batkivschyna party's faction at the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, says there should be no secrecy in forming a new government.

“The main principle is: no backstage dealings in forming a new
government,” Yatseniuk said at a plenary parliamentary session in Kyiv
on Tuesday.

Yatseniuk insisted that some protest activists, including Oleh Musiy,
Olha Bohomolets, Ihor Lutsenko and others, should be government
members.

The Batkivschyna faction agrees to the principles formulated by
protest activists for organizing a new government, Yatseniuk said. “We
fully share these principles,” he said.

Yatseniuk reiterated that a new government should be formed
immediately, and, in the current complicated economic situation, this
government “should not think about ratings and political activities but
only about how to pull the country out of this economic pit.”
