Pro-Western Coalition Formed in Ukraine
By YANA SEDOVA 1 day ago
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) Ukraine's two pro-Western parties forged a
fragile majority coalition in parliament Thursday, raising hopes for
an end to months of political turmoil.
But the coalition agreement that the parties registered at parliament
could fall victim to the squabbling and flexible loyalties that
characterize Ukrainian politics.
Hours after the parties of President Viktor Yushchenko and Orange
Revolution heroine Yulia Tymoshenko reached the coalition agreement, a
senior member of Yushchenko's party announced he had refused to sign
it giving the coalition 227 seats in the Verkhovna Rada, just one
more than is needed for a majority.
