Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk resigns over ‘artificially created political crisis’ ABC News 11 Apr 16 Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has announced his resignation in the wake of a months-long political crisis that paralysed the government and stopped the release of vital Western aid.
Key points:
- PM Yatsenyuk will ask parliament to approve his resignation Tuesday
- His resignation comes weeks after surviving a non-confidence vote
- It is believed parliament speaker Volodymyr Groysman will be the new PM
“Having done everything to ensure stability and make a smooth transition of power possible, I decided to step down from the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine,” the pro-Western leader said in a television address.
“The political crisis in the country was created artificially. The desire to change one person blinded politicians and paralysed their political will for real change,” he said………
Mr Yatsenyuk’s announcement means that Ukraine will in the coming days be headed by a new government that has also vowed to pursue a pro-Western course. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-11/ukraine-prime-minister-yatsenyuk-resigns/7314798
