The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, said Sunday that he would be resigning from his office, to be formally announced on Tuesday.

Parliamentary Speaker Volodymyr Groysman will reportedly step into the position. The outgoing Prime Minister tweeted the announcement on Sunday:

The political scenario in Ukraine has been getting shakier and shakier recently, with current President, Petro Poroshenko, asking Yatsenyuk to quit in February. (Poroshenko was mentioned in the recent leak of documents suggesting he had set up an offshore company to evade taxes with the company Mossack Fonesca). Yatsenyuk, plagued by war, corruption and poor economic performance, had low popularity ratings in the country. It’s not clear whether he will continue to be involved in the government.
