    Ukrainian PM Goncharuk announces his resignation

    Ukrainian Prime Minister Alexei Goncharuk has handed in his resignation amid a ‘wiretapping’ scandal involving the head of government according to a bombshell revelation by the media, TASS reports.

    "In order to avoid any doubts about our respect for and trust in the president, I penned a letter of resignation and handed it over to the president with the right of submitting it to parliament," he wrote on his Facebook page on Friday.

    The prime minister stressed that the public recently witnessed "events unfolding around some edited files consisting of fragments of recordings of government meetings posted on line," whose content artificially creates the impression that the head of government and his team do not respect the head of state.

    The office of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has confirmed that it had received Goncharuk’s resignation letter.
