Ukrainian Prime Minister threatens to quit

"We all came in as one team and we will continue working in the future as one team," the Premier told a televised session of parliament on February 5. "And if it is decided that this team should be changed, then we will all leave together." Yatsenyuk's comments came two days after the resignation of Ukraine's reformist Economy Minister Aivaras Abromavicius. Abromavicius said his resignation was borne out of frustration over the “sharp escalation in efforts to block systemic and important reforms.” His resignation sparked concern among Ukraine's Western allies and prompted Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to hold a meeting with ambassadors from the G7 group of leading industrialized nations in a bid to allay their concerns.
