{{See also|Second Yatsenyuk government#Fall}}
On 10 April 2016, Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that he would resign as Prime Minister and would ask parliament to fire him on 12 April 2016.[http://www.unian.info/politics/1315050-ukrainian-pm-yatsenyuk-resigns.html Ukrainian PM Yatsenyuk resigns], UNIAN (10 April 2016)
[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36010511 Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk to resign], BBC News (10 April 2016) On 25 March 2016, Parliamentary Speaker Volodymyr Groysman had been nominated by coalition partner Petro Poroshenko Bloc to replace Yatsenyuk.[http://www.politico.eu/article/ukraines-president-settles-on-a-pm-candidate/ Ukraine’s president settles on a PM candidate], Politico Europe (25 March 2016) On 12 April parliament did not hold a vote on Yatsenyuk's resignation, because (Yatsenyuk's party) People's Front and Petro Poroshenko Bloc could not agree on the forming of a new government.[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36020548 Ukraine: Lawmakers end session without new PM vote], BBC News (12 April 2016) On 14 April Groysman was confirmed by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) as Prime Minister.{{Cite web|url=http://uatoday.tv/politics/volodymyr-groysman-appointed-ukraine-s-new-prime-minister-630644.html|title=UNIAN: News of Ukraine this year - the last days in Ukraine}}
As Petro Poroshenko Bloc and People's Front together lacked a parliamentary majority (and a couple of both parties' parliamentarians voted "against" the Groysman government) the government creation became possible because almost all MP's of Revival and People's Will voted for the establishment of the coalition.
