He was scheduled to fly to Lviv, and he "plane trouble," came back to Kyiv - and took the plane on which Tymoshenko was scheduled to go to maskva for gas talks.<BR/><BR/>She got a private charter.<BR/><BR/>President Baloha, er, Yushchenko, is just going to keep gigging her, to try to get her goat.<BR/><BR/>Such is "politics" in Ukraine.<BR/><BR/>The "political elite" peeing and shitting all over one another, in one big pile of shit-stained money obtained through government, and people be damned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086033.post-42462569565736074772008-10-02T17:57:00.000+03:002008-10-02T17:57:00.000+03:00Clearly the divisions remain.

Of ongoing concern is the fate of Constitutional reform and Ukraine's adoption of a full parliamentary Democracy in line with other European states.<BR/><BR/>The question that is left hanging is Yulia suffering from "battered wife's syndrome" or is she buying time.Come June/July next year the President loses authority to dismiss the parliament. Whilst the coalition may collapse The government retains office.<BR/><BR/>Article 90 states...<BR/><BR/><I>The authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine shall not be terminated during the last six months of the term of authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine or President of Ukraine.</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
