The Ukraine Will Hold a New Election

The Supreme Court of the Ukraine just a couple hours ago announced that a new election will be held on Dec 26th.

The best part of this decision is that it will be between the same two Candidates. President Kuchma had been trying to get a new election where he could submit a new candidate that may have a better chance to succeed this time around. Fortunately, this will not be the case.

But, this is not the end of the matter by a long shot. I have my doubts that President Kuchma will give up power easily.

Here's the Wash Post article.

Also I want to recommend this NYT article about Kuchma's Son-in-law. A very interesting person who understands that both the east and west portions of the Ukraine need to stay together to have a successful history.
