The government of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has fallen in Ukraine. Parliamentary speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn said her party no longer has a majority.

Following the recent presidential elections, which Ms Tymoshenko lost to Viktor Yanukovych, - and the result of which she has refused to accept - several parliamentary leaders have left her coalition.
 
The political leaders now have 30 days to form a new coalition. If they fail to do so, Mr Yanukovych can call an early election.
