On 17 February the Batkivshchyna party of Yulia Tymoshenko pulled out of the ruling coalition in Ukraine after Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk survived a no-confidence vote in parliament just a day before. Despite having survived the motion the PM will have a difficult time as he has lost the President’s trust and the crisis-hit coalition will need a new boost. On 18 February Yatsenyuk called for a reshuffle in the coalition and spoke to various political groups to form new allies, including the populist Radical party.
