Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk should either propose a new government with a new program to Verkhovna Rada or take a decision to resign, Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction leader Yuriy Lutsenko has said.
“Now, speaking in sports parlance, the ball is in the prime minister’s court. Yesterday, he formally held on to his job despite losing the support of four of the five coalition factions. So now he must make a decision: either he proposes to parliament some new government with some very efficient action plan and gain support, 226 votes, or he realizes that a government without parliamentary support is impossible and steps down. He must decide this issue for himself literally in the coming days,” Lutsenko told reporters in Kyiv on Feb. 17 evening.
