It is the opposition parliament members that are in charge of the Ukrainian government in coalition.Just to clear my doubts, which group according to you is currently holding the current govt?
Wikipedia provides some information on the current government:
The Yatsenyuk Government (Ukrainian: УрÑд ÐÑ€ÑÐµÐ½Ñ–Ñ Ð¯Ñ†ÐµÐ½ÑŽÐºÐ°) was created in Ukraine after the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.
Creation[edit]
Following anti-government Euromaidan protests that began in 2013, and culminated in the 21 February 2014 impeachment of President Viktor Yanukovych in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.[1] The government was first presented at Kiev's main Euromaidan protest camp at Maidan Nezalezhnosti on 26 February 2014.[2] The government was voted on by Verkhovna Rada on 27 February 2014.[3][4] There were no government posts for the UDAR party; that is led by one of the Euromaidan leaders Vitali Klitschko.[5][6]
On its first day 250 MPs sign up to join coalition including the Batkivshchyna, UDAR, Svoboda factions, the Economic Development and Sovereign European Ukraine groups and other MPs.[7]

And here is a more detained background on how Yanukovych was ousted from power:
Now you know how Yanukovych was ousted from power. You know now why Akim said his ouster was legitimate?KIEV, Ukraine—The whereabouts of President Viktor Yanukovych were unknown Sunday, the day after he left the capital, protesters took control of the city center, and opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was released from prison.
The center of Kiev was calm the day after parliament voted to remove the president and set new presidential elections for May 25.
Ukraine's parliament voted to formalize the interim transfer of presidential power to the newly elected parliament speaker Oleksandr Turchynov, the first deputy chairman of the Batkivshchyna party.
Parliament will also be voting for a new prime minister, something that may happen today. Three candidates are being considered: Ms. Tymoshenko, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the leader of Batkivshchyna, and lawmaker and businessman Petro Poroshenko.

Dozens of legislators defected on Saturday from Mr. Yanukovych's Party of Regions, while a majority of those who remained voted for his ouster in the parliament vote, said Serhiy Tihipko, a senior party member. "We tried for a long time to reach him today but not a single phone worked, none of his aides, not anyone could be reached," Mr. Tihipko told reporters in the parliament. "Members of the party who were in parliament today felt abandoned."
