Members of Ukraine's parliament have agreed on the composition of the country's new government following the recent resignation of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Ukrainian parliament Speaker Volodymyr Groysman's press secretary said.

KIEV (Sputnik) — On Sunday, Yatsenyuk announced his resignation starting April 12 amid the ongoing parliamentary crisis in the country.

"Regarding today's results on forming the new government. Virtually all positions have been agreed on. Groysman was able to assert a core of reformers in the new government," Dmytro Stoliarchuk wrote in his official Twitter account on Monday.

Yatsenyuk Resignation to Have No Effect as Kiev Gov't 'Ultra-Corrupted'
Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada is set to consider Yatsenyuk's resignation on Tuesday, as well as forming a new coalition and possibly appointing a new government.

The Ukrainian government has been in turmoil since early February when the country’s economic development minister resigned citing the slow pace of change and widespread government corruption. Five other ministers initially followed his lead but later rowed back on their intention to quit.

The Petro Poroshenko Bloc has nominated speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Volodymyr Groysman for the post of Prime Minister.
