Ukraine’s government falls apart

Ukraine’s ruling pro-Western coalition has officially collapsed, the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament says.

“I officially declare the coalition of democratic forces… in Ukraine’s parliament dissolved,” parliament speaker Arseny Yatsenyuk announced on Tuesday.


“This has been long expected, but for me it is extremely sad,” he told the chamber.

“I would not call this a political apocalypse, though it is true that it is another challenge of democracy. I hope we can overcome it.”
