Ukranian Cabinet Vows to Continue Work as Team - Yatsenyuk

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Thursday the Cabinet has decided to continue working as a team in face of a looming government collapse and prepare a plan of its actions for the next 12 months.

KIEV (Sputnik) — He added that the government will not tolerate any political pressure or blackmail from the coalition partners or any political force in general.

"We have decided to work as a team while preparing and announcing a clear plan of our actions for at least the following 12 months," Yatsenyuk said at a government meeting.

"One for all, and all for one: we came as a team, and we will work as a team."

He added that the government will not tolerate any political pressure or blackmail from the coalition partners or any political force in general.

On Wednesday, Ukraine's Economic Development and Trade Minister Aivaras Abromavicius, a former Lithuanian national, said he had tendered his resignation in protest at government corruption and political pressure.

Abromavicius was followed on Thursday by Agrarian Policy and Food Minister Oleksiy Pavlenko, Information Policy Minister Yurii Stets, Healthcare Minister Alexander Kvitashvili, and Infrastructure Minister Andrii Pyvovarskyi.

The four later said they had recalled their resignations, although the agricultural and infrastructure chiefs named several preconditions for their return. Abromavicius said he would not negotiate his exit.
