Recognition by the Ukrainian parliament of the government's performance as unsatisfactory rather than the failure of a no-confidence vote in the Cabinet of Ministers has aggravated the political crisis in Ukraine, which must be settled within a week, Ukrainian Parliament Speaker Volodymyr Groysman has said.

"I think the fact that on the one hand the parliament deemed the government's performance bad, but on the other, it failed to ensure the needed number of votes to dismiss it yesterday has aggravated the crisis rather than solved it," he said while opening a parliament meeting on Wednesday morning.

"And I think the solution is simple: it should either be solved by the political forces here, in parliament within a week by offering a model of ending the crisis or the government should be completely rebooted – and if needed – together with this parliament," Groysman said.

As was reported, Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday did not accept the Cabinet's report on its performance and acknowledged its results to be unsatisfactory.
