"I expect that no later than next week, preferably on Tuesday, we will hear from the parliament the good news that a coalition has been created," the president said, adding that "if it’s not, then I don’t rule out that that the Ukrainian people and I, as a president, will have to lock the deputies up as in a conclave and wait for the white – not the black – smoke to come out of the Verkhovna Rada; they must form a coalition."
