The opposition is ready to unlock the Ukrainian parliament when discussing a referendum on NATO

The opposition party of the regions of ex -Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych promised not to block the work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Tuesday, if the coalition of the Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko (BUT) and the Bloc "Our Ukraine - People's Self -Defense" (NO -NS) will agree to consider the draft resolution "On the decision on the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO), which presupposes Holding an all-Ukrainian referendum on this issue, ITAR-TASS reports. Also, according to unconfirmed information, today the parliament may consider the resignation of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

The leader of the opposition, Viktor Yanukovych justifies the need for a referendum "with a requirement of more than 15 million citizens of Ukraine to oppose the integration of Ukraine into any military-political organization, in particular NATO."

- Tymoshenko can be replaced again with Yekhanurov

The coalition factions do not agree to this version of the draft resolution, since they believe that this will make it possible to the opposition to demand a referendum regarding any issues of cooperation between Ukraine and the Alliance.

At the same time, the leaders of the BYuT fractions Ivan Kirilenko and the Bloc Non-SS Vyacheslav Kirilenko said that the coalition deputies would come to Radu on Tuesday, "despite the fact that they could not reach consent." Kirilenko is even sure that "the opposition will not physically prevent the meeting, since it should remember that on February 14, the time was counted, according to which a month later from this date, if the plenary meetings do not begin, the president has the right to dissolve the Supreme Rada."

In turn, the leader of the Communists, Peter Simonenko, accuses the coalition of disrupting the work of the parliament, which, according to him, "is not going to consider those painful issues that are now relevant." Among such issues, the opposition, in particular, sees the problem of restrictions on the supply of gas of Ukraine by Gazprom. "It is necessary that government representatives report, what decisions will be made regarding the prevention of a blow to the Ukrainian economy," Yanukovych told reporters.

Recall, on January 18, at a meeting of the Parliament, the Party of Regions faction made a request to withdraw the appeal of the heads of Ukraine to the secretary of NATO Japa de Hoop Cheffera regarding the accession of Ukraine to the Alliance. Because of this issue of the meeting, the Verkhovna Rada had to be closed, and from that time the parliament has not been able to hold a single full meeting. "Letter of the Three" was one of the main reasons for blocking the rostrum.

Starting from January 18, the “regionals“ only a few times ”allowed the parliament to hold plenary meetings. On February 25, deputies agreed to finalize the draft political agreement and resolve the controversial issue regarding NATO. Consultations continued until March 3.

Tymoshenko can again be replaced by Yehanurov

There are rumors in parliament that today the parliament can include on the agenda the question of the resignation of the government Yulia Tymoshenko. The acting prime minister is allegedly planned to appoint Minister of Defense Yuri Ekhanurov, ITAR-TASS reports. “Theoretically, there may be enough votes if the Party of Regions votes for the resignation, the Litvin bloc, the Communists and the part of the Baloga-focused on the Baloga, ” one of the “regionals” deputies told reporters today , dodging the answer of exactly who was going to initiate resignation.

However, as the publication found out, the leadership of the Party of Regions (at least part of it) does not share such an opinion. “I heard on Saturday that someone was preparing a resolution on distrust of the government, but the party has not yet decided anything,” said one of the leaders of the “regionals.” “Moreover, I specially contacted people with Bankova - they also say that they are not preparing anything like that. I do not exclude that this is a provocation of BYUTA himself, which Timoshenko is trying to get it away, so that someone is trying to remove it And so that she could tell the country - here, they say, the oligarchs are upset against me. "

The famous Ukrainian political scientist, President of the Sofia Social Research Center Andrei Ermolaev believes that the Tymoshenko government is already preparing for resignation. “Perhaps already now the government, understanding all the risks that are created in the economy, realizing that it cannot cope with the situation, there is a“ v -bank ” - it exacerbates the gas situation, concentrates attention, so that, then, having again played the“ map ”of economic clarifications and accusations, to resign,” Yermolaev told reporters.

The political scientist recalled that approximately the same steps were used in 2005, when "in the middle of the budget year after a series of very high -profile campaigns, which also were unilateral, aggressive on the part of the government, the so -called" trade wars ", a number of resonant, loud statements about corruption were made, after which the government was resigned."
