You're reading: Tigipko calls for Rybak’s immediate resignation, urgent election of prime minister

Party of Regions MP Sergiy Tigipko has said that a solution to the crisis in the country requires several steps, including the resignation of Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Rybak and the urgent election of a prime minister supported by all factions.

“The president, the parliament speaker, the acting prime minister and
opposition leaders have completely lost control of the situation in the
country and do not offer any solutions to pacify the country.

Their
inaction is leading to increased confrontation and deaths. Immediate
concrete steps, rather than negotiations, are needed to resolve the
crisis in the country,” Tigipko wrote on his page on Facebook on
Thursday.
