Ukraine's president faces tough choice
Ukraine’s pro-Russian parliamentary majority warned President Viktor Yushchenko today against dissolving parliament and calling new elections, threatening that the move could trigger a battle for power in this ex-Soviet republic.
The threats came after another round of marathon talks overnight apparently failed to dislodge differences between Yushchenko and the new coalition, which wants to put the president’s Orange Revolution arch foe in the prime minister’s seat.
