Ukraine elections invalid?

by Mrs Tilton

According to a ‘news alert’ headline at the New York Times from four minutes ago (08.14 EST), Ukraine’s parliament has declared the election results invalid.
Nothing more at the NYT site (registration generally required, but you should be able to see the front page without it); it’s just the headline. Updates to follow as available.

Ukraine

Into the weekend

by Nick Barlow

As the Ukrainian crisis heads into its sixth day, time for another roundup.
First, I’ve found another Ukrainian news portal in English - Ukraine Now - which is covering other news out of the country as well as the crisis. On the blogs, Le Sabot has more photos and continues his fascinating background series on the [...]

Ukraine

Task Force.

by Tobias Schwarz

While three hours of negotiation between the parties and the European mediators have - not unexpectedly - not produced an immediate resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, there are reports of some progress (Kyiv Post, tagesschau.de). Mr Yushenko and Yanukovych reportedly agreed to form a joint task force to peacefully end the constitutional crisis. The task [...]

Ukraine

A Carnival of Hope

by Doug Merrill

Maybe, just maybe, this will work out right. Positive signs abound. No major violence, police units going over to the people’s side, order among the throngs, volunteers bringing food, boots, whatever the people in the demonstrations need. Crowds in Kiev still in the hundreds of thousands. Miners in thrall to the government few and far [...]

Ukraine digest

by David Weman

I’ve created a Kinja digest of blogs and websites that are covering the events in Ukraine. Should be very useful.
Update: You might want to use the “collapsed” version to get a sampling of all the blogs.
You’re welcome to suggest more sites.
Update: (Tobias, 18:11 CET) - Amidst rumors about audiotapes that allegedly prove the election [...]

A resolution in sight, or a deeper crisis?

by Nick Barlow

Two recent posts from Victor Katolyk:
korrespondent.net
The negotiations between Kuchma, Yanukovych, and Yushchenko will be held at 18:00 in the presence of international mediators. Yushchenko refused to hold eye-to-eye meetings with Kuchma or Yanukovych.
The negotiations will be mediated by Xavier Solana, Jan Kubish, Alexander Kwasniewski (President of Poland), Valdas Adamkus (President of Lithuania) and, possibly, other [...]

Ukraine: Day 5

by Nick Barlow

Tobias’post below has already mentioned the letter on Tulipgirl and, like him, it reminded me of a quote, this time from Alan Moore’s graphic novel V For Vendetta:
‘It does not do to rely too much on silent majorities, Evey, for silence is a fragile thing…one loud noise, and it’s gone… Noise is relative to the [...]

An Orange Song Of The Heart

by Tobias Schwarz

The TulipGirl quotes a letter from her friend Lena, wishing that everybody could truly understand the nature of the hope hiding behind the headlines talking about an Orange Revolution.
In (some of) Lena’s words
“Quite recently I didn’t believe that my people able to resist to violence and humiliation. 2 month ago I guessed [...]

Tony in Trouble.

by Tobias Schwarz

Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister, chatted live on a mobile chat with O2 subscribers today. I don’t know if the questions were sent in in text message lingo, but the transcript is remarkably legible. As asking complicated questions via a mobile handset is, well, complicated, the questions - and answers - are also remarkably [...]
