乌克兰总理阿尔谢尼·亚采纽克于周日表示他将辞职。他的这一决定或促成新一届政府组建，结束国家政治危机。

Yatsenyuk spoke on television and wrote on the social networking site Twitter. He said he will give hisresignation to parliament on Tuesday. He said he hopes his decision to leave office will permit Ukraine to make changes to its constitution and to its electoral and judicial systems. He said he hopes the country can then join the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

If members of parliament are unable to choose a new prime minister, a new election could be held. But President Petro Poroshenko does not want another election. He believes a new vote could worsen the country’s security situation.

若国会中无法选出一位新总理，将举办一次选举。但亚采纽克总理并不希望在举办一次选举。他坚信一次新的选举将使乌克兰的安全情况恶化。
