KIEV (Reuters) - The Ukrainian parliament should not consider dismissing Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk, the country's president, parliament's speaker and Yatseniuk said in joint statement on Tuesday, in which they called on lawmakers to work together to pass critical reform bills.

Signs of deep divisions in Ukraine's pro-Europe coalition have fuelled speculation Yatseniuk's government will fall, while the country's Western backers warn that time is running out for Kiev to make good on its promises to root out endemic corruption and cronyism.
