Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk in his Sunday address urged coalition members to stop bickering between themselves and to approve a legislative measure spelling out the goals and principles of the government's work.

"We all should display virtue. Eloquent evidence of this will be the signing of a bill that spells out government's universal principles. The measure will prevent anti-constitutional interference into the work of executive branch, illegal political pressure and corruption," Yatseniuk said during the"10 Minutes with Prime Minister" program aired by ICTV on March 13.

Yatseniuk said that the guarantee for fulfilling these principles should be their adoption in the form of national legislation.

The prime minister added that that the current political crisis in Ukraine is artificial. "There are no rational grounds for crisis," he said.
