Yulia Timoshenko Bloc has decided to get prepared for early parliamentary elections, Valery Pisarenko, member of parliament from the Timoshenko Bloc, reported on Tuesday, commenting on the results of the meeting of the faction of the Bloc, held on Monday night, reported Itar-Tass.

Timoshenko's team believes a possibility of the restoration of the "orange" coalition, with Vladimir Litvin Bloc being invited to join it, is very small. A possibility of forming a coalition with the Party of Regions, led by Viktor Yanukovich, was not discussed by the Timoshenko Bloc. According to Pisarenko, "most probably, the ruling coalition (the Timoshenko Bloc and the pro-presidential Our Ukraine-Popular Self-Defence Bloc) will cease to exist today." The meeting of the Rada will begin at 11.00, Moscow time.

After the disintegration of the coalition the Supreme Rada will have 30 days for the formation of a new parliamentary majority. If it fails to do that, the Ukrainian president will announce the holding of early elections.
