Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced his resignation Thursday following turmoil in government, the Associated Press reports.

“I am announcing my resignation in connect with the collapse of the coalition,” Yatsenyuk said from the dais of parliament. He made the announcement after two parties said they would pull out of the governing coalition, saying the parliament could no longer do its work and pass necessary laws.

The UDAR movement led by former boxer Vladimir Klitscho as well as the nationalist Svoboda party pulled out of the group of legislators that took over after former President Viktor Yanukovich was ousted by protesters in February 2014.
