The leader of the Batkivschyna parliamentary faction, Arseniy Yatseniuk, has said that the first step Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych should take when he returns to Ukraine is to dismiss the government.

"The first step [of the president when he returns to Ukraine, should be that] the president addresses the people and says that his government bears political responsibility for what has happened on Euromaidan. I am signing a decree to dismiss it," Yatseniuk told journalists in Kyiv on Friday.
