Ukraine

The Ukraine situation seems to be settling itself out without violence:

From the press conference at Marinskiy Palace. From what I'm hearing, President Kuchma announced:
1. All parties have signed an agreement. It was a "genuine compromise." There is going to be a revote, though I don't think the type has been decided yet.
2. There is going to be an expert working group to look at the legal issues of the election. They will follow the recommendations of the Supreme Court.
3. All sides are renouncing violence.
4. The protesters are going to stop blocking government buildings.
5. There will be constitutional reform during the upcoming period.

This was a significant development today also.
