Asked who the likely candidate might be, V. Tsybulko said,”Ukraine is faced with the need to open the door to a generation of younger politicians. Speaker Arseny Yatseniuk is a product of our independence, same as politician and businessman Valery Khoroshkovsky or Dnipropetrovsk oblast Governor Viktor Bondar. They all belong to the 30-40 age-group. I think that Ukraine is mature enough to have a change of political generations.”

Answering the question about the future of the coalition of democratic forces in current conditions, V. Tsybulko pointed out, “The coalition does not exist any more. That is, it exists from the legal standpoint but there are no votes. In principle, there can be a good way of attracting the votes of the opposition, the Party of Regions and the Lytvyn bloc. But in my opinion, the cabinet actually does not have the support base in VR. And thus it is necessary to reconsider the status of the government, the status of the majority. At the same time, it should be done even before the summer recess of VR within these coming 10 days. The president should become a key figure in this process. A compromise could be found through the president’s will, if he puts forward his candidate for premier. In that case, all the political forces could agree about such candidate who, if elected, will complete the present cabinet’s tenure.

There are three way-out of the present deadlock in VR, says Yatseniuk. “The first option is to build up a majority in order to pass new laws. The second option is, following the Supreme Court ruling on the imperative mandate, either to form a new coalition or restore the old one. Finally, the possibility of a snap election,” the speaker noted. “There are no other decisions. Therefore, there is the need to continue a political dialog. Presently, it is stalled,” he added.
