The first government headed by Arseniy Yatsenyuk was created in Ukraine on 27 February 2014 in the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity.[1] The cabinet was formed as a coalition of the Batkivschyna, UDAR and Svoboda political parties, the Economic Development and Sovereign European Ukraine parliamentary factions, and a number of unaffiliated MPs.[1] On 24 July 2014, UDAR, Svoboda and 19 independent MPs exited the coalition to pave the way for the early parliamentary elections of late October 2014.[1] Prime Minister Yatsenyuk announced his resignation the same day,[2] but the Verkhovna Rada declined his resignation on 31 July 2014.[3]
After the 26 October 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, the second Yatsenyuk government was formed.
