Ukraine’s ruling coalition replenished with Timoshenko’s bloc MPs

Read it in Russian

MPs, members of Bloc of Yulia Timoshenko (BYT) Maxim Lutsky, Dmitry Kryuchkov and Inessa Vershinina have applied for entering the anti-crisis coalition. The announcement is made by Speaker Alexander Moroz at the morning plenary session of the Ukrainian Supreme Rada. The speaker read out texts of the applications, a REGNUM correspondent reports.

As one of BYT faction leaders Nikolai Tomenko says, the traitor MPs should be deprived of their mandates. In this connection, BYT intends to go to court; its lawyers are already working on it. “Thus, other people who participate in the parliamentary elections in the BYT party ticket will be given an opportunity to enter the Supreme Rada and work effectively,” Tomenko says.

The ruling anti-crisis coalition is built by the Regions Party, the Socialist Party and the Communist Party factions at the Supreme Rada. BYT leader Yulia Timoshenko announced her force coming into opposition.
