KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko sees Finance Minister Natalia Yaresko as possibly taking over as prime minister, his spokesman said on Monday, having repeatedly urged the government to resign saying that it had lost the trust of the people.

Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk's cabinet is on the brink of collapse despite surviving a no confidence vote in February, prolonging a political crisis that has stymied reforms and delayed disbursing new foreign loans in the war-ravaged economy.
