KIEV, December 11. /TASS/. Ukraine’s Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told the country’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, on Friday he will not resign on his own initiative.
"I will accept any decision of the Ukrainian parliament. I am not holding on to the premier’s seat," Yatsenyuk said, answering a question of an MP of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc if he wished to step down.
Yatsenyuk, who assumed office in late February last year, said he "took the responsibility for the unpopular reforms in the country." "I knew my rating would be affected but I came to office not because of the rating," he stressed.
