Ukraine: No to US missile proposal
Thu, 12 Apr 2007 19:31:57
Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko says his country is not considering hosting any elements of a US anti-missile shield planned for Eastern Europe.
"This issue of a missile shield has never been raised and Ukraine has no intention of discussing it," Viktor Yushenko said .
In contrast, The White House has announced the US was working with Ukraine in deploying elements of the system, citing them as one of the 15 countries they have approached.
Last month thousands of Ukrainians took to the streets of Kiev to protest against a U.S. controversial plan to build an anti-missile shield in neighboring countries Poland and the Czech Republic, the plan sharply criticized by Russia.
The Russian-NATO council will discuss the US missile defense plans on April 19.

Vityaz
"Today three of us made a decision to appeal to citizens of Ukraine, patriots, who understand that crime, maffia, clan can not be today the power in Ukraine. We would like to ask you on Friday, at 18 o'clock, to gather our Maidan on the European square – as we always gathered when people rebelled against dominance, against lack of freedom, against corruption, against injustice, against usurpation, against forgery", - declared Tymoshenko.
She also underlined that "only unity of democratic forces with people will be able to re-establish justice, and Maidan will stand till it gains conducting of the special elections”.

Apparently the situation has calmed down with the announcement of parliamentary elections on September after a reunion between the president and the prime-minister.
