On 10 April 2016, Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that he would resign as Prime Minister and would ask parliament to fire him on 12 April 2016.[4] On 25 March 2016, Parliamentary Speaker Volodymyr Groysman had been nominated by coalition partner Petro Poroshenko Bloc to replace Yatsenyuk.[4][5] On 12 April parliament did not hold a vote on Yatsenyuk's resignation, because (Yatsenyuk's party) People's Front and Petro Poroshenko Bloc could not agree on the forming of a new government.[6] On 14 April Groysman was confirmed by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) as Prime Minister.[7]
As Petro Poroshenko Bloc and People's Front together lacked a parliamentary majority (and a couple of both parties' parliamentarians voted "against" the Groysman government) the government creation became possible because almost all MP's of Revival and People's Will voted for the establishment of the coalition.[8]
After a conflict with Prime Minister Groysman the Verkhovna Rada on 7 June 2018 dismissed Finance MinisterOleksandr Danylyuk, the next day Oksana Markarova was appointed acting Finance Minister.[13] On 22 November 2018, parliament appointed her as Finance Minister.[14] The same day Iryna Friz was appointed to the new post of Minister of Veterans Affairs.[14] On 27 February 2018, parliament adopted an appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers on the creation of this Ministry for Veterans Affairs.[14]
