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 [...]

I’ve just got time for a quick roundup of the latest developments in Ukraine.
First, and most importantly, the Supreme Court has suspended publication of the election result while it considers the case brought to it by Yuschenko. This is probably more routine than a sign of any clear intent on the part of the Court, [...]

Well, it’s been another quiet night in Ukraine, but the demonstrations have continued again today - the live feed shows that Independence Square is full of people again with hundreds of orange flags flying.

German Chancellor Schroeder, who is known to have a good personal relation to Russian President Putin, and who, according to news reports”, had told the German Bundestag earlier today that he remains “firmly convinced, firstly that the Russian president wants to develop a democracy [in Russia?!], and wants to do so out of inner conviction”, [...]

lesi ukraini leads to bessarabsky rynok and the start of khreshchatyk, which is filled with about 100,000 yushchenko supporters.

Well Yanukovich has finally been declared the winner. Since someone else is undoubtedly about to post about this I’ll leave it at that.
