This was stated at a press conference by the leader of the NU faction, Roman Bezsmertny.
"I want to report that statements from all the 'Our Ukraine' ministers have just been registered in the Verkhovna Rada," Bezsmertny said.
As the agency reported, on October 17 the faction of the "Our Ukraine" bloc in the Verkhovna Rada officially announced its transition into the opposition.
In Viktor Yanukovych's Cabinet, "Our Ukraine" is represented by Justice Minister Roman Zvarych and Family, Youth and Sports Minister Yuriy Pavlenko.
Health Minister Yuriy Polyachenko and Culture and Tourism Minister Ihor Likhovyi were appointed to the Cabinet under the NU quota within the framework of political agreements between Yushchenko and Party of Regions leader Yanukovych.
Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko was appointed to the Cabinet by agreement between Yushchenko and Yanukovych.
In addition, under the President's quota, in accordance with the Constitution, Defense Minister Anatoliy Hrytsenko (non-partisan) and Foreign Minister Borys Tarasyuk (leader of the People's Movement of Ukraine party, which is part of the "Our Ukraine" bloc) were appointed to the Cabinet.
Since September 15, the position of minister for emergency situations and affairs of protecting the population from the consequences of the Chornobyl catastrophe has remained vacant, following the appointment of Viktor Baloha, previously delegated by NU to the Cabinet, as head of the Presidential Secretariat.
Yushchenko intends to keep Foreign Minister Borys Tarasyuk and Defense Minister Anatoliy Hrytsenko in their positions if they do not belong to opposition parties or blocs.
Yushchenko also believes that ministers from NU should resign after the bloc went into opposition.
