A new civil war may break out, but this time in the Western Ukraine, the newspaper reported. The situation within the ruling coalition is destabilizing shortly before the local elections on October, 25.
Following the withdrawal of the Radical Party from the coalition, representatives of All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" ruled by Yulia Tymoshenko also started to publicly criticize the decentralization plans of the current government.
The initial coalition included Petro Poroshenko Bloc, People’s Front under Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" ruled by Yulia Tymoshenko, the Radical Party and the “Self Reliance” Party.
The Radical Party left the coalition in early September due to its disapproval of the government’s federalization plans and autonomy for the Eastern Ukraine.
It remains unclear how long the government will be able to control the situation in the country. Ukraine, who is dependent on Western loans and unable to pursue efficient policy, has caused discontent among the local population and Western politicians.
According to DWN, the situation in the country is highly explosive and is inching towards a new civil war which may break out in the nearest future in the Western regions of the country.
