Yuriy Chyzhmar, Oleh Lyashko’s Radical Party
“This government does not have support in parliament. A government that does not have a solid majority cannot be successful. It is doomed to constant conflicts.”
Maksym Burbak, People’s Front faction of Arseniy Yatsenyuk
“This will be a step forward. We will do everything that depends on us, so that the new government does not turn around or turn away from the reforms launched by Yatsenyuk’s government.”
Oleksiy Mushak, Poroshenko Bloc faction
“It’s a step forward. He is less public than Yatsenyuk, so he won’t perform these long speeches, lectures and PR. He will be ready to do all the dirty work. Also, Groysman is seen as a shadow of President Poroshenko. Therefore, I think he will have to make some independent moves. He is interested in achieving results.”
Yegor Sobolev, Samopomich Party faction
“This is just running in place. The leaders of the kleptocratic majority have stayed the same, and the main person is, in fact, Poroshenko. Unfortunately, he has not been drawing conclusions from what had happened in past.”
Igor Lutsenko, Batkivshchyna faction
“We see that we are stepping backwards from the standards that could have been set up by the EuroMaidan Revolution. The first government at least partly consisted of reformers. The second one was more imitating reforms. This one won’t even be imitating reforms.”
