Ukraine's Prime Minister Resigns Amid Turmoil

Ukraine's prime minister turned in his resignation today before a session of parliament that Ukraine's protesters have called "Judgement Day." Mykola Azarov resigned amid turmoil where protesters have been calling for Ukraine's president, Viktor Yanukovych, to resign. Instead, Yanukovych has offered the position of prime minister to a leader of the opposition but also has been turned down twice.

At that session of parliament, they repealed the anti-protest laws that caused an escalation in the demonstrations.
