This is going to get ugly in a hurry quote:
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his Cabinet resigned Thursday, he told parliament.
"I announce resignation after the collapse of the coalition and the blocking of government initiatives," he said. The government has been at odds with pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine.

So what does this mean? I am a little confused to how a system that has a PM and President works?

Under a parliamentary system, the PM is the executive and the President is a ceremonial position. However, the President has the power to call new elections.

This was going to happen sooner or later. Poroshenko promised new Rada elections because the Rada hasn't changed composition since the Yanukovych admin, so there are a lot of Party of Regions reps there who initially broke ranks when Yanik jumped the shark and started shooting protestors and ran off to Putin, but have started obstructing again when it comes to passing budgets and the like. They need to clear out some of that dead wood.

Looks like a loss of just under 1%.

Thanks for the insight. It was inevitable indeed, but it puts the stability of the gov't at risk IMO.
They need help - bottom line and no one is stepping up.

The government was never going to be stable until an entirely new set of elections. Keeping the pre-Euromaidan majorities around under a post-Euromaidan President and a country firmly exiting Russia's orbit would've just meant nothing got passed. And stuff really needs to get passed; their budget is in a bad way.

Semi-related - The AFP wire is reporting that the Pentagon has footage of Russian troops firing on Ukrainian targets from within Russia.

I'd say it doesn't really surprise anyone that the Russians are directly involved here in addition to supplying "advisers" to Eastern Ukraine.
What's slightly more surprising is that there is footage of it and that the Pentagon admits it exists, IMHO, as that puts pressure on the administration to do something about it.

Ukraine is a semi-Presidential system. The president has real power (like France and Russia, who also have Prime Ministers).

It's surprising to me that it has taken Eastern Europe so long to recover from communist rule. The people there have been bat shite crazy ever since the iron curtain was lifted.
I mean, there are abandoned factories in countries like Ukraine and Slovakia where wealthy people go, pay high prices for "clients", and then mutilate and murder them.
It's a part of the world I am never traveling to. Hopefully these prudent leaders will immigrate westward after the resignation is official.

I'm pretty sure that Eli Roth's "Hostel" is not a documentary.

And on Elm Street there's this a-hole that murders you in your dreams if you believe in him.

Eastern Europe is fricking awesome bro. Everything is cheaper and I swear the place is a supermodel factory.
