You're reading: Yatsenyuk says collapse of Rada coalition means failure to pass laws on filling budget

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said that today's breakup of the coalition has consequences, as the laws on filling the budget have not been passed.

“Today’s breakup of the coalition has consequences. Laws that would
have filled the revenues of the budget have not been passed. This is
understandable. Who wants to run in elections and simultaneously vote
for unpopular laws?” he said speaking in parliament on July 23.

Yatsenyuk said that putting narrow political interest above the fate of the country was unacceptable.

“It is a moral and an ethical crime,” he said.
