KIEV, March 4 - Ukraine’s largest opposition party on Friday called for the dismissal of Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Boyko for failing to prevent skyrocketing increase in gasoline prices over the past two months.

Batkivshchyna party, led by former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, called the situation on the fuel market a “bacchanalia” that threatens the country with a “gasoline catastrophe.”
