Yatsenyuk, who kissed Azarov: “You can’t live small in life”
Kyiv, October 25 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk claims that he had an agreement to go to the elections together with Petro Poroshenko’s party, but the president’s associates decided otherwise.
The head of the Cabinet of Ministers said this in an interview with the Kyiv weekly “New Time”.

"We agreed to go together," says Arseniy Yatsenyuk. "And we would have gone together, but the president has allies. Well, they made that decision, and we had to, in a political fast-food operation, quickly go to the polls ourselves."
He also claims that there were no agreements on the premiership with Poroshenko and reminds that the prime minister is chosen not by the president, but by the parliamentary coalition. Yatsenyuk also said that he would not join the opposition even if he was not offered the prime minister’s chair.
“First of all, going into opposition in the current situation is stupid,” says the leader of the Popular Front party. – In opposition to whom? To Petro Poroshenko, with whom we fought together against Viktor Yanukovych? For what? Because someone doesn’t have enough places? It's petty. You can’t live small in life.”
As PolitNavigator previously reported, Poroshenko's allies from the UDAR party claim that Yatsenyuk's government is breaking the corruption records of his predecessor, Azarov, with whom the current prime minister kissed.
