He said this in interview with journalists in Kyiv on Friday.

Asked with whom the negotiations on the opposition formation are being held, Yatseniuk said: "First of all this is the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense faction. The faction must return to unity, and this process is extremely difficult, but it has already begun."

According to Yatseniuk, the opposition government will start its work when the new government starts working.

Yatseniuk also noted that amendments to the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada had been prepared that foresee that an opposition is formed depending on the will of MPs, but not the will of a particular faction.
