Ukraine Parliament Brings Down Government.
Ukraine’s parliament brought down the government of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych with a no-confidence motion Wednesday in a show of the opposition’s strength in the country’s spiraling political crisis.
…[Outgoing President Leonid ] Kuchma must now appoint a caretaker government within 60 days, under the rules of the constitution.
…The measure automatically triggers the resignation of Yanukovych’s government. Kuchma can, however, allow the government to continue to exercise its powers until a new Cabinet is formed, but not for longer than 60 days.
Kuchma is likely to name parliament speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn to head an caretaker government, said Markian Bilynskyj, a Kiev-based analyst. pro-Communist parliamentary groups, with Kuchma’s implicit backing, used a similar no-confidence vote in 2001 to oust Yushchenko from the prime minister’s post, Bilynskyj said.
