Yuschenko reaches out to old foe
Ukraine president Viktor Yushchenko’s party today increased the pressure on its leader to reunite the estranged Orange Team, passing a resolution that put potential deal-breaking restrictions on the pro-Moscow opposition leader.
State Security Council chief Anatoliy Kinakh said that any parliamentary coalition members must agree to confirm Ukraine’s pro-Western course, reject the possibility of adopting Russian as a second state language and turn down any calls to transfer significant central government powers to the regions.
