Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his Cabinet on Thursday announced their resignation.
"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.
