Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said that the domestic political crisis was created artificially for the purpose of early elections, and urged all forces to continue reforms in the country.

“This political crisis is provoked to conduct early elections, which effectively is none other than a struggle for power,” said Yatsenyuk during the government session on Feb.17.

“We appeal to all responsible political forces, to the president of the country, to the public that we need to move further toward change and reform,” he added.
