Yushchenko dismisses Ukraine government
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko today dismissed his Cabinet amid swirling allegations of corruption, saying members of the fragile coalition formed after last year’s Orange Revolution had turned on one another.
The dissolution of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s government, coupled with the president’s decision to accept the resignation of Petro Poroshenko, the powerful head of the Security and Defence Council, left Yushchenko looking increasingly isolated.
