TheGroysman government was formed on 14 April 2016, led byVolodymyr Groysman.[2][3] It was the thirdUkrainiancabinet formed since the2014 Ukrainian revolution, following on from thefirst andsecondYatsenyuk governments.
On 10 April 2016,Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that he would resign asPrime Minister and would ask parliament to fire him on 12 April 2016.[4] On 25 March 2016, Parliamentary SpeakerVolodymyr Groysman had been nominated by coalition partnerPetro Poroshenko Bloc to replace Yatsenyuk.[4][5] On 12 April parliament did not hold a vote on Yatsenyuk's resignation, because (Yatsenyuk's party)People's Front and Petro Poroshenko Bloc could not agree on the forming of a new government.[6] On 14 April Groysman was confirmed by theVerkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) as Prime Minister.[7]
As Petro Poroshenko Bloc and People's Front together lacked a parliamentary majority (and a couple of both parties' parliamentarians voted "against" the Groysman government) the government creation became possible because almost all MP's ofRevival andPeople's Will voted for the establishment of the coalition.[8]
