The leader of Batkivschyna parliamentary faction Yulia Tymoshenko insists on an immediate general meeting of the ruling coalition to discuss the full resignation of the government among other issues.

"I ask you, I publicly address the chairman of Verkhovna Rada, all the leaders of the coalition's factions to immediately convene a general meeting of the coalition," she said at a Monday meeting of the conciliatory council of the heads of parliamentary factions, committees and groups in Kyiv.

She said that the coalition meeting attended by all of the deputies belonging to the factions of the coalition should discuss the complete replacement of the Cabinet. "No face-lifting or cosmetics," she added.

She explained that as a consequence of the resignation of the government, the coalition will break up and "courage will have to be mustered" to go for early parliamentary elections.

The Petro Poroshenko Bloc supported the initiative from Batkivschyna on the convocation of a general meeting of the coalition, first deputy chairman of the bloc Ihor Kononenko said later.

"The coalition council should work out the agenda. If the agenda is worked out, we will hold the meeting. We support this initiative from Batkivschyna," he told journalists.

The parliamentary coalition in Ukraine, in addition to the Petro Poroshenko Block and Batkivschyna, includes the People's Front, and Samopomich. The Radical Party of Oleh Lyashko left the coalition last autumn.

Meanwhile, Verkhovna Rada speaker Volodymyr Groysman after Tymoshenko's call stressed that it was her turn now to be the coordinator of the coalition. "Therefore, it would be right, if you initiate the meeting. I will give you full assistance in organizing," Hroisman said.

Tymoshenko responded by saying that she refuses to be the coordinator of the coalition.
