Ukrainians celebrate Orange Revolution

CROWDS of Ukrainians waving orange flags descended on Kiev’s main square yesterday for anniversary celebrations marking the start of the Orange Revolution.

President Viktor Yushchenko, marking the first anniversary of the revolution that helped bring him to power, said yesterday that Ukrainians should be proud of the past year’s accomplishments and they should be patient while reforms continue.

“There is no disappointment here,” Mr Yushchenko said.
