Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk calls on President Petro Poroshenko, the Petro Poroshenko Bloc parliamentary faction, and all democratic forces to make a new start so as not to replay mistakes of the past and prevent Ukraine's breakup.

"I am addressing the president, his faction, and all reasonable and democratic forces: let's turn a new page. We have no right to allow a horrible scenario of the country's breakup, and we have no right to replay the mistakes of 2005," Yatseniuk said at a Cabinet meeting in Kyiv on Thursday.

"I will hold consultations with the Radical Party, and once again speak with the president and the head of his faction today. We should eliminate emotions, they stand in our way," Yatseniuk said.
