After weeks of political crisis in Kiev,
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk has announced his long-expected
resignation.
Yatsenyuk made his decision public on Sunday in
a televised address, saying he would formally submit his resignation to
parliament on Tuesday.
The prime minister has been a highly unpopular
figure in Ukraine with his approval ratings languishing in the single-digit
range. The public blames him for a ruined economy and the failure to implement
reforms he had promised when taking office following the February 2014 coup.
The final stages of his tenure were marred by
an ugly political scandal when his economy minister, Aivaras Abromavicius,
announced his resignation over alleged corruption in the Ukrainian government.
I thank the colleagues who’ve acted honestly and selflessly. The last 2 Govs were unique. They were the first manifestations of New Ukraine
As the crisis unfolded, the ruling coalition in
the Ukrainian parliament collapsed. Under Ukrainian law, President Petro
Poroshenko can call an early election if a new coalition isn’t formed, but
opinion polls say his own party would lose seats in that case as well.
Poroshenko tried to resolve the debacle in the
cabinet by calling on Yatsenyuk to resign, but he refused to do so. An attempt
to fire him through a parliament vote failed in what was a major embarrassment
for the president.
Yatsenyuk said the ongoing political crisis in
Ukraine “was created artificially” and has become personal for
politicians.

He added that his government was “the
best in the history of Ukraine”and a “manifestation of the new
Ukraine.”
The outgoing PM said that he now has goals that
are broader than the authority a mere head of government.
“New electoral law. Constitutional reform.
Judicial reform. Coalition control over the direction of the new government.
International support of Ukraine. Ukraine’s membership in the European Union
and NATO. This is only a part of my program,” he said.
According to Yatsenyuk, parliament speaker
Vladimir Groysman will be Ukraine’s next PM.
Despite his resignation, Yatsenyuk said that
his party, the People’s Front, will stay in the ruling coalition. "The
People's Front will remain a coalition member as today it is the only possible
way to defend the country," he said after announcing his decision
to step down, as quoted by TASS.
Yatsenyuk added that he was optimistic about
his party’s political prospects, despite the lack of popular support. "We
love our country and ratings are things that come and go," he
said.
Poroshenko told Ukrainian TV on Sunday that he
will not dissolve the current parliament. “I respect the
Ukrainian parliament. I want no confrontation with either the parliament or the
government. I have no other parliament for you and will have none whatsoever,” he
was quoted as saying by TASS.
Gilbert Doctorow of Russia Insider pointed out
that Yatsenyuk’s resignation occurred shortly after Ukraine’s association
agreement with the EU had been rejected in a Dutch referendum.
“This raised the feeling of crisis within the
Ukrainian political elites and made [Yatsenyuk’s] departure something essential
so they would have a sacrificial lamb and they would appear before Europeans in
particular, and IMF as well, to be making some progress in putting their house
in order,” he
told RT.
Doctorow said that Kiev is keenly aware of what
its European partners are saying about Ukraine’s EU aspirations. “The
Ukraine is not going to join the EU any time soon, in fact, not in the next
20-30 years, which in political terms [means] never,”he said, adding that
this was very damaging to the Ukrainian leadership’s image at home.
