Politics

But in just two years later, the career growth policy went up, and he moved to Kiev, becoming the first deputy head of the National Bank of Ukraine Sergey Tigipko, who was a companion of the ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.
In 2005, to resign, Yatsenyuk was invited to the post of vice-governor of the Odessa region, where he worked in the team of Vasily Tsushko about six months, after which he was appointed to the post of Minister of Economics of Ukraine. A year later, all Ukrainian government, together with the Minister of Economics, was resigned, but in September 2006, Arseny Petrovich receives the position of Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko.
Yatsenyuk's career period was very difficult, as the country had an acute political crisis, and all representing the interests of the Ukrainian chapter of Viktor Yushchenko, the ministers were lifted by the Supreme Rada from the posts. Nevertheless, politics managed to resist "afloat", and in 2007 it became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, despite the lack of professional diplomatic experience and education. At the same time, becoming the head of the Foreign Ministry, Yatsenyuk receives membership in the Council of National Security and Defense of Ukraine.
And this period of political career again coincided with instability in the Ukrainian government, therefore, it was only 11 months old on the position of Arsenia Petrovich, after which he was resigning. After that, Yatsenyuk created his political block "Front of Change", whose activity brought politics fame and popularity among the population.
In society, politics were perceived as a promising leader, whom the president of the country propheted him. In 2009, the ex-head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine began the election campaign in the presidential race, but failed her, taking only a fourth place in the elections.
In 2010, Yatsenyuk's candidacy was nominated by the President by President Viktor Yanukovy to the position of Prime Minister of Ukraine. But Arseny Petrovich rejected this proposal, as being a prime minister in the coalition with the Communists for him was unacceptable. After that, Yatsenyuk began to call on parliament to early elections, believing that the illegal attempts of parliamentarians to form a coalition would lead to the state and political crisis in Ukraine.
Against the background of its opposition activities in 2012, the leader of the "FRONT of Change" is united with the head of the "Batkivashchin" by Julia Tymoshenko, which forms a general list to participate in the presidential election and creates the Council of the United Opposition.
In 2013, Yatsenyuk, together with Oleg Taignibok and Vitaly Klitschko, headed the coordination protest movement on the Maidan, opposing the existing authorities suspended the process of preparing the signing of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. A month later, Ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych in order to exit a protracted crisis offered to Arseny Petrovich the post of Prime Minister of the country, but he did not agree. Only a month after the nomination at Euromaidan, Yatsenyuk, the Prime Minister became the prime minister during the day.
Heading the Government of Ukraine, the opposition politician has encountered the Crimean crisis and armed conflict in the east of the country. Its achievement on his position was the signing of an agreement on the Association of the European Union and Ukraine. Many Ukrainian deputies considered the coming to power Yatsenyuk illegal, with which they appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine, where it was decided to open production according to this claim.
Yatsenyuk did not wait for the court decision and resigned themselves. But after revising the BP of some bills, providing for mitigation of certain conditions, in particular in the gas sector, which was in the interests of many oligarchs of the country, such as Igor Kolomoisky, the government did not respond to Arseny Petrovich. After conducting early elections, he was approved for the position of head of the government of Ukraine.
Prime Minister of Ukraine
The second government of Arseny Yatsenyuk in the history of Ukraine became a record for the number of hryvnia millionaires, which included in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine - from 20 ministers 8 are among the richest people of the country that had previously had no relation to the official work.
The new government of Arseny Petrovich included 4 foreigners, including the Minister of Economy Citizens of the United States Natalia Yarepleko, Minister of Health Citizen Georgia Alexander Kvitashvili and Minister of Commerce Lithuanian Ayvaras Abromavičius, who, after entry into office, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko provided Ukrainian citizenship.
The Yatsenyuk government program was approved in December 2014 - its key areas are reforming in various fields and a change in social security system in the country. Of course, in the post-revolutionary and military conditions, there was no chance of being successful at the Government of Yatsenyuk. Many experts believe that Yatsenyuk did not implement a single item from the approved program due to the unprofessionality of the frames of the Cabinet of Ministers.
Despite its rather thorny path as Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yatsenyuk does not demonstrate his discomfort, adhering to categorical and tough positions. He is building his policy as a business project, the purpose of which is to effectively fight for the economy of Ukraine, the resources of which simply "melt" against the background of war.
In view of the fact that the main feature of the character policy is the desire to get the most profitable result in any undertaking, reforming in Ukraine for the year of his work never started. Political scientists believe that this is due to the fear of the policy to make a mistake and disappoint the electorate.
The efforts of Arseny Petrovich do not bring results, soon the society requires his resignation. The years of the rule of Yatsenyuk are recognized as extremely unsuccessful, the people literally moaning under the burden of its "reform initiatives", a total poverty comes in the country. The president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, took advantage of the situation, removing a political competitor who pulled his bottom rating, he actually formed the new executive leadership leads to him only one.
In April 2016, Yatsenyuk resigned.
