UPDATE: Ukraine Finance Minister Resigns - Government

(Updates with quotes)
KIEV (AFP)--Ukrainian Finance Minister Viktor Pynzenyk resigned Thursday saying he had become a "hostage to politics," in a further sign of the economic crisis gripping the ex-Soviet nation.
"Under current conditions the professional position of finance minister has become a hostage to politics," a statement on the government Web site quoted him as saying.
"Under such conditions my presence in the post of the finance minister does not make sense," he added.
