Crimean Prime Minister Anatoliy Mohyliov will be removed from office and a coalition government will be formed shortly, according to Batkivschyna lawmaker and former head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars Mustafa Jemilev.

When speaking from the stage of Maidan in Kyiv on Wednesday, he said
that the Crimean people had managed to prevent the Crimean Supreme
Council from adopting a declaration about the republic joining Russia.

“As a result, [Crimean Parliament Speaker] Volodymyr Konstantynov
refused to adopt such a declaration, on the contrary – a declaration
that Crimea is an indivisible part of Ukraine and we aren’t going
anywhere was prepared. They don’t want to join Russia now, and that is
very good,” he said.

According to Jemilev, the next step is the resignation of Mohyliov.

“Today, there’s already an agreement that Mohyliov is the main
pro-Russian figure who is to be removed from office in our republic, and
a coalition government is to be formed. I want to say, that it was made
possible by Maidan, because we have brought down this terrorist regime
here. And because of that I’m sure that the Crimea will be cleansed of
the separatist infection as well,” said the lawmaker.
