Our Ukraine rejects offer by Yulia Timoshenko

Invitation to Our Ukraine to join former Orange Coalition partner in Opposition

By Online Editor -
Ukraine needs a strong opposition if it is to hold the new Government to account. The offer by Yulia Timoshenko for Our Ukraine to join the opposition was a good tactical move as it shows up Our Ukraine for what they are. Meanwhile Our Ukraine continues to hold out hope that it might join the governing coalition. Negotiations are proceeding as Our Ukraine's 10 day deadline approaches. "It is better to be a dog inside and well feed then a dog stuck out in the cold. Pavlov's dog continues to bark at the door hoping to be let inside." Our Ukraine bloc has no intention to team up with Timoshenko Source: ITAR-TASS September 22, 2006 KIEV, September 22 (Itar-Tass) -- The just-created inter-factional opposition association in the Ukrainian parliament has incorporated only part of the Yulia Timoshenko faction and two Socialists.

Ukraine's linguistic battle continues to divide

By Online Editor -
Ukraine continues to be divided over the issue of language. An issue that is in the forefront of Ukrainian ultra-nationalist's political agenda. An issue that if left alone would resolve itself. There are far more important issues that confront Ukraine and linguistics is the least of them all. Yes Ukrainian should be taught in Schools and no one objects to it being the official language, but does it need to be the only language that is used or allowed?
