KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's party will vote to criticise the performance of Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk's government as "unsatisfactory" in a parliament vote, its leader Yuriy Lutsenko told parliament on Tuesday.

The decision would significantly raise the chances of parliament holding a no confidence vote against the government, which could precipitate a government collapse and snap elections.
