A Hundred Days of Government:

The Way towards Stabilization

KyivMarch 2015

Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy YATSENYUK

The Government assumed the political responsibility for the state of affairs within the country and agreed to take actions that hadn’t been done throughout recent 20 years. It is our mission, that’s our objective and we are doing it.

I realize how hard it is now for the majority of the Ukrainians and for the entire country. Russian military aggression, the war, incredible losses of the economy cost each Ukrainian a fortune. It is just difficult to compare which countries had gone through similar tests.

We have embarked on these complex reforms that aren’t always perceived positively among Ukrainians at the present stage.

But I am asking all of you to understand - without today’s reforms we will not have our tomorrow.

Our Government struggles neither for the approval ratings, nor for its popularity, as these reforms in the short term do not add any political advantages.

We know what we agreed to. We agreed to make these steps to have our tomorrow.

Among the opponents to our reforms are Vladimir Putin, the Opposition Bloc who led the country into bankruptcy we are trying to lead out of, and a group of politicians who want to get cheap political gains in the country in a state of war.

What has been done by the current Government is endorsed by G7 states, our American and European partners. And they are helping the country to find the way out of this very difficult situation.

But I want to assure you that we will cope with this situation.

I want to ask for one thing - patience, understanding and unity. Let’s think not about ourselves, but about our children and next generations. And how to pull the country out of this abyss. There is no another recipe.
