Ukrainian prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, announced his resignation on national television this past weekend and will deliver his resignation to the Ukrainian parliament on Tuesday. Yatsenyuk had been under pressure to resign for months, despite the fact that he had recently survived a "no confidence" vote in the parliament. There are several candidates in the running to replace him, including Ukrainian-American Natalie Jaresko.
