Ukraine Govt Deadlock Solved

World | August 3, 2006, Thursday // 00:00

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has supported his arch-rival Viktor Yanukovych for prime minister, ending a four-month political deadlock. The leader of the Orange Revolution, which rocketed him to the presidency, Yushchenko said he acted after Yanukovych had agreed to sign a pact that preserves key areas of the pro-Western president's policies. He announced the move after a deadline for the PM's nomination passed. The president formally submitted the candidacy of Yanukovych to parliament, which is expected to vote on the issue on Friday.
