Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Sunday he is resigning. His decision may permit a new government to be formed, possibly ending the country's political crisis.
乌克兰总理亚采尼克周日表示他将会辞职。他的这一决定让新政府得以组成，从而有可能结束该国的政治危机。
Yatsenyuk spoke on television and wrote on the social networking site Twitter. He said he will give his resignation 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.
亚采尼克发表了电视讲话，并在社交媒体网站Twitter上写道，他将在周二向议会递交辞呈。他说，他希望他辞职的决定能让乌克兰对其宪法、选举和司法系统进行改革。他希望该国随后可以加入欧盟和北约。
Yatsenyuk has been criticized for not being able to improve the country's economy and for not moving fast enough to make political changes.
亚采尼克一直被批评未能改善该国经济，进行政治改革的动作也不够快。
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.
如果议员们无法选出新总理，就会举行一场新的选举。但是波罗申科总统不希望再进行选举。他认为，进行新一轮投票可能会恶化该国的安全局势。
