Ukraine leaders clash in prime time debate
Ukraine’s bitter rivals for the presidency faced off in a much-anticipated televised debate tonight, with opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko accusing his rival of trying to steal the November runoff election that was later annulled because of fraud.
The TV clash between the contenders in the St Stephens's Day rerun of the vote was the first since the Supreme Court cancelled last month’s result because of ballot rigging which gave victory to Kremlin-backed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.
