Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Kachura has said Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk submitted a letter of resignation.

The lawmaker posted a photo of the document via Telegram.

According to Ukrainian legislation, within 12 months after the adoption of the government's program, i.e. until September 2020, the parliament has no right to dismiss the Cabinet. However, this can be done if a prime minister resigns.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a meeting of the Servant of the People faction on Tuesday proposed that Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk be dismissed and Deputy Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal be appointed to this post.
