The government crisis in Ukraine has been going on since February. A significant number of Rada deputies, including those supported by the President of the country Peter Poroshenko, achieves the resignation of Yatsenyuk with the post of prime minister. In mid -February, Yulia Tymoshenko first announced the exit from the ruling coalition, then Andrei Sadovoy’s “self -help”. The coalition, the main members of which are the BPP and the Popular Front, was preserved only because, although its fifth member, the radical party of Oleg Lyashko, last fall, announced the transition to the opposition, not a single deputy from this party filed an exit from the coalition.
Last weeks in the Poroshenko administration, consultations on the conditions of Yatsenyuk’s resignation and reformatting of the coalition lasted. On Tuesday, the deputy from the BPP Irina Lutsenko informed "Channel 5" that 226 votes - the minimum necessary for the formation of the parliamentary majority - the coalition already has the process of reformatting next week.
