Yatsenyuk proposes including political parties in NSDC, government officials waiving future election participation

Arseniy Yatsenyuk, former Prime Minister of Ukraine, has proposed including representatives of political parties in the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) and urging government members to renounce participation in future elections. During a national round table titled Unity Around the Flag, held under the auspices of the Kyiv Security Forum (KSF), Yatsenyuk suggested that the NSDC should encompass all political forces to share political responsibility for making decisions in the country.

He also urged government officials to declare their lack of political ambitions and a waiver of participation in upcoming elections, in order to focus solely on the country's victory. Yatsenyuk emphasized the need to adopt a 12-month action plan for the government, allowing parliament to evaluate the actions of each member who is not a politician but a statesman.
