Verkhovna Rada did not accept Ukrainian Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman’s resignation. The prime minister’s note of resignation was backed by 97 MPs, with the minimal necessary number being 226, on Thursday, TASS reports.
Thus, the government will continue to perform its obligations in full composition until the parliamentary election.
Groisman said before the election that he will accept any Rada’s decision. "I will accept any decision with respect. My decision to resign was not emotional: it is a position, and I have never in my life shifted responsibility to anyone," he said.
