The Ukrainian leader also stated that he supports a full revamping of the country's cabinet, but with the involvement of the ruling coalition.
"The cabinet has done much to save the country, stabilize the economic situation and launch reforms. But the public clearly believes there has been more mistakes than achievements <…> The time for a partial reshuffle has clearly passed," he stated.
