In the course of the planned meeting on Friday, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Turchynov and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk together with heads of factions discussed the scheme of interaction between the branches of state power under the absence of coalition in the Parliament.

All heads of factions adopted a common decision to hold the extraordinary plenary session of the Verkhovna Rada next Thursday.

It is planned that the extraordinary session will be held in a partially closed mode and will touch upon a series of issues related to the investigation of circumstances of Malaysia Airlines aircraft crash, particularly the Agreement on the use of Civilian Police forces.

The participants of the meeting agreed to immediately re-consider the draft laws “On amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2014” and “On amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and several other legislative acts of Ukraine”. The MPs also intend to consider the vote of confidence in the Prime Minister.

The President once again emphasizes that dissolution of coalition in the Verkhovna Rada shouldn’t paralyze the work of the Parliament and is not a legal ground for resignation of the Cabinet of Ministers. The Head of State counts on further cooperation with Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the entire Cabinet of Ministers. Still, it doesn’t exclude personnel reinforcement of the Government’s team.

The participants of the meeting share opinion that dissolution of coalition shouldn’t obstruct the adoption of important decisions necessary for the entire Ukraine and every citizen.
