Blockade halts Yushchenko convoy
A pro-opposition convoy trying to rally support for presidential candidate Viktor Yushchenko was turned back from his rival’s home town today after Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych’s supporters blocked the road.
The confrontation outside the eastern city of Donetsk came five days before Ukrainians were to choose between the two candidates in a Supreme Court-ordered revote of last month’s fraudulent presidential election.
