Though initially very popular, Yushchenko has lost some support. His approval ratings were steadily falling. In 2005, he fired his Prime Minister, [[Yulia Tymoshenko]], and she was eventually replaced by no one other than Yanukovych. This led to constant bickering, and the lack of action, which translated to falling approval ratings. In the best interest of Ukraine, he declared on April 2, 2007 that he was dissolving Parliament.<ref>http://pravda.com.ua/en/news/2007/4/3/7370.htm</ref><ref>http://pravda.com.ua/news/2005/8/11/32345.htm</ref> This led declarations of illegality and to massive protests in Ukraine who want to hold it back under Russian control.

During the final months of his Presidency, Yuschenko made the following declaration:
{{Cquote|In conclusion I would like to say something that is long awaited by the Ukrainian patriots for many years I have signed a decree for the unbroken spirit and standing for the idea of fighting for independent Ukraine. I declare [[Stepan Bandera]] a national hero of Ukraine.}}
