This was stated by the Minister of Family, Youth and Sports Yuriy Pavlenko after the completion of the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. According to him, "all members of the government who work under the President's quota, from NU, expressed political readiness to submit their resignations. We have written statements, and they have been handed over to the leader of our faction in the Verkhovna Rada, Roman Bezsmertnyi — after all, this is not just about the fate of ministers, but about the fate of the country. Until now, the 'broad coalition' has not been created, as envisaged in the 'Universal of National Unity.' This concerns all ministers — either all or none."
At the same time, Pavlenko refused to name the exact number of submitted resignation statements, adding that "I have already written a statement." It was previously assumed that the ministers from NU appointed under the President's quota — Foreign Minister Borys Tarasyuk and Defense Minister Anatoliy Hrytsenko — might not resign their powers.
Justice Minister Roman Zvarych and Health Minister Yuriy Polyachenko confirmed that they had written statements of resignation from their ministerial posts and submitted them to the leadership of the parliamentary faction of the Bloc "Our Ukraine."
Culture and Tourism Minister Ihor Likhovyi stated that he intends to continue working in the government. "As long as the President needs my qualifications," he said. "I will stay as long as the President needs my services," noted Likhovyi. When asked whether he had written a resignation statement, Likhovyi answered in the negative. He also noted that the decision of the political council of "Our Ukraine" to recommend that its ministers resign would have only advisory significance for him, since the final decision must be made by the President.
