Ukrainian PM resigns
Ukrainian prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has announced his resignation following turmoil in the government.
Mr Yatsenyuk made the announcement in parliament after two parties said they would pull out of the governing coalition.
“I am announcing my resignation in connection with the collapse of the coalition,” Mr Yatsenyuk said.
He said the parliament could no longer do its work and pass necessary laws.
The nationalist Svoboda party and the Udar party led by former boxer Vitali Klitschko pulled out of the group of legislators that took over after former president Viktor Yanukovich was ousted by protesters seeking closer ties with the European Union.
