Russian military fires artillery into eastern Ukraine
Of course, Putin will get a pass with the pro Soviets in the USA. Ukraine government resigns, the Soviets will now walk in, and that is what they are again, with Georgia, and soon Ukraine.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his Cabinet announced their resignation Thursday.
"I announce my resignation after the collapse of the coalition and the blocking of government initiatives," Yatsenyuk told parliament.
Ukrainian political experts said they expected the resignation, and that Yatsenyuk and his Cabinet will remain in place as an acting government until elections in October.
The government has been battling pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine. More than 400 people have died in the fighting, the government said.
The Prime Minister's announcement comes as more bodies from Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 arrived in the Netherlands. The Boeing 777 was shot down by a suspected surface-to-air missile last week over eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.
With his efforts blocked in parliament, Yatsenyuk said, "At the moment my government does not have the answer" to numerous questions, including how to keep paying government salaries, military expenses and families of flight victims.
A "collapsed coalition has consequences," he said.
U.S. has 'evidence that Russia is firing' into Ukraine
Among other developments Thursday:
-- The United States said it has proof that Russia is firing into Ukraine.
"We have new evidence that the Russians intend to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple rocket launchers to the separatist forces in Ukraine and have evidence that Russia is firing artillery from within Russia to attack Ukrainian military positions," said State Department spokesoman Marie Harf.
Two U.S. officials said earlier Thursday that Russian troops near the border with Ukraine have broken up into smaller groups and moved closer to the border.
