Leader of BYuT Yulia Tymoshenko declares that as of August 25 there is no legitimate Prime Minister and government in Ukraine. She stated this at a briefing on Monday.\n\nTymoshenko refers to Article 5 of the law "On the specifics of dismissal from positions of persons who combine a deputy's mandate with other types of activity," according to which, if after 20 days deputy powers have not been removed, then the act on appointment to a state position (in this case, the position of prime minister) loses force. According to Tymoshenko, the norm of this law is a norm of direct effect. "Thus, there are all constitutional grounds to assert that as of today there is no Prime Minister and no full composition of the Cabinet of Ministers in Ukraine," she said. "I congratulate the people of Ukraine on this event," Tymoshenko added.\n\nTymoshenko emphasized that all acts and resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers adopted after August 25 are illegal.\n\nTymoshenko stated that as of today there is only one way out of the current situation – resubmitting the candidacy of the Prime Minister to parliament and a new vote.\n\nTymoshenko also believes that the President has again acquired the right to dissolve parliament. "Because for 60 days there was no government in Ukraine," she said.\n\nThe BYuT leader also said that the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc will challenge all actions of the government if this composition of the Cabinet of Ministers continues to work. "Yanukovych has no constitutional right to hold the position and sign acts," she said.\n\nShe also announced her intention to appeal to the Constitutional Court on this matter.\n\nTymoshenko also said that BYuT intends to inform all embassies by the end of the day today about the illegitimacy of the Ukrainian government.
