    Ukrainian PM's resignation accepted by the Parliament
    Credits:
  • The resignation of Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk of Ukraine was accepted by the Ukrainian parliament.

    Speaker Volodymyr Groysman was appointed the new head of the government.

    The decision was supported by 257 votes in support (226-vote was the minimum requirement).

    Inability to deal with corruption and failure to make the government institutions function smoothly became the reason for Yatsenyuk's diminishing support.

  • The current crisis in Ukraine goes back to November 2013 when under severe economic crisis, Ukraine's President Yanukovych was negotiating a deal for Ukraine's entry into the European Union.

    Russia, which considered its interest being threatened by Ukraine's western tilt, offered an economic package, which Yanukovych accepted instead of EU accession.

    The move resulted in violent protests which forced Ukraine into a civil war.

  • After a referendum in the Crimean peninsula, Russia annexed Crimea, which escalated the tensions between Russia and the West to a level not seen since Cold War.

    Sanctions were imposed on Russia and the eastern pro-Russian Ukrainian parts of Donetsk and Luhansk faced a conflict on interest with Kiev.

    This led to a war between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists.

    While the economy had been in shambles with plummeting foreign reserves and mounting debt due to prolonged unrest and wars, the pro-Russian eastern areas posed threats of disintegration of Ukraine due to repeated cease-fire violations.

  • The decline of the no-confidence motion has laid rest to speculations of fall of the government until the next session in Sept'16.

    However, it has made the uneasy relationship between the President and the Prime Minister even more complicated.

    Although the government has remained intact, the challenges in front of it are exacerbated by growing instability within the ruling coalition.
