Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said he will dissolve the Verkhovna Rada only as a last resort.

"When they tell me, come on, dissolve the parliament, I can take this tough decision, but only as a last resort. We are not so rich as to pay for constantly holding elections. These will be the elections at our expense," Yanukovych said at a meeting the employees of the Everi company in Mykolaiv on Thursday.

At the same time, the president expressed the hope that lawmakers will be able to come to an agreement and unblock the Verkhovna Rada.
