Ukraine's Acting Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko intends to go on vacation, whereas Acting First Deputy Premier Oleksandr Turchynov will head the government, a source from the government told Interfax-Ukraine on Wednesday.
According to him, Tymoshenko announced this decision during a meeting of the Ukrainian government, which was dismissed by parliament this day.
"In this case, Oleksandr Turchynov will be acting prime minister," the source said.
At least ten of the acting ministers told Interfax-Ukraine that they were not going to go on vacation and will continue working.
Acting Justice Minister Mykola Onischuk said Turchynov needs to gather at least 13 acting ministers in order to pass valid decisions.
