More on Politics

I checked the website for the Kyiv Post today and found some more information about the political situation there. New elections for the Parliament have been scheduled for May 27, pending the decision of the Constitutional Court. The Prime Minister stated yesterday in a speech in Strasbourg that if the court declares the President's dissolution of Parliament to be unconstitutional, then the Prime Minister's party will call for the impeachment of the President. The President made a speech yesterday in Brussels calling for the crisis to be solved democratically.

Another story reported that Putin, the Russian President, has not commented publicly on the Ukrainian political crisis. That contrasts with his active role in the 2004 elections, which sparked the Orange Revolution. At that time, Putin actively supported Yanukovych, who is now Prime Minister. This time, Putin has kept a low profile.
