Coalition Collapses: Events Outside of Kyiv

While current focus remains on Kyiv and the ongoing struggle between Timoshenko and Yushchenko, the crisis is being felt outside the capital.  Ukrainska Pravda reports on BYuT in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast Rada seeking an investigation to preserve the current coalition. The BYuT faction wants to have an extraordinary session on the 10th of September in order to discuss the current crisis. This move by the local BYuT factions reflects the general attitude by party leaders who want to maintain the coalition and are against another preterm election.

In addition, Tymoshenko mentioned in a recent interview that some governors have asked the president to establish a presidential government. Timoshenko warned that this is "against the constitution" and a form of aggression. The prime minister said that if such a situation occurred that parliament would unite against it, however she believes that the president will pursue that course.
