Ukraine Prime Minister Tenders Resignation
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has resigned in a televised address.
"I took the decision to resign as prime minister of Ukraine," Yatsenyuk said on April 10 in comments aired on Ukrainian television channels.
"On Tuesday, April 12, I will submit it to parliament, "he said.
He added that his decision is based on several reasons, saying "the political crisis in the government has been unleashed artificially, the desire to change one person has blinded politicians and paralysed their will to bring about real changes in the country.”
Yatsenyuk said his resignation is to be immediately followed by the formation of a new government.
