Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has taken a leave until parliament dismisses him on the president's request.

"Regardless of what and when Rada [parliament] will decide on my resignation, I have decided to take a leave. I believe this will be fair and correct," he said.

He is planning to use this free time to form his own political team.
