Ukraine Prime Minister Has Resigned


Reuters: Ukraine PM Yatseniuk resigns

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk tendered his resignation in a televised broadcast on Sunday and signaled support for parliamentary speaker and presidential ally Volodymyr Groysman to take over his post.

Yatseniuk has resisted pressure to resign since surviving a no-confidence motion against his government in February, but Ukraine's political crisis has fractured the ruling coalition and further delayed the disbursement of aid under a $17.5 billion International Monetary Fund bailout program.

"I have taken the decision to resign as prime minister of Ukraine. On Tuesday, April 12, my request will be submitted to the parliament," Yatseniuk said in televised broadcast.

"Good riddance is what I say. I am just surprised that he has lasted this long."

"Yats" had powerful backers including the U.S. State Department and Victoria "Cookie Monster" Nuland. Did you read his statement's by the way? He claims his government was "the best in the history of Ukraine" and that his party is "the only way to defend the country". The man is a perfect example of the delusional state of more than a few in the Twilight Zone that is the Ukraine today.

The Maidan and Mr Yats' legacy is, and will forever be, the loss of Crimea, rehabilitation and elevation of Nazism/right wing natiinalism/white supremacy, civil war, a ruined economy, delapitated infrastructure, political Chaos,increased suffering of the Ukrainian people. In short, a failed state in Europe that threatens its citizens and neighbours more than it offer.

The Yatsenyuks, Tyahnyboks, Poroshenkos, Timoshenkos, Kolomoisky's, and may others, with their Svobodas, Privy Sectors, Azovs, Aidars and their U.S., EU, Canadian backers deserve nothing less than world censure and stiff sentences for the crime that is the state of the Ukriane today.
