Concerns About New Ukraine Parliament To Be Riven By Infighting

The Fatherland Party, headed by Yulia Tymoshenko, and Oleh Lyashko's Radical Party are often viewed as the weakest links in Ukraine's new parliamentary coalition, in part because the party leaders have such strong personalities, said Hromadske International's Maxim Eristavi.

Alex Rybachin, a new MP from the Fatherland Party, countered this and said that the Fatherland Party is, in fact, the glue holding the coalition together.

Hromadske International's Ian Bateson and Maxim Eristavi interviewed Alex Rybachin in the Kyiv studio on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014.
