-Scott Clark at Foreign Notes has some commentary about Kuchma in reference to a Financial Times article calling Kuchma a statesman.
-Discoshaman has his daily Ukraine roundup (and sometimes juicy gossip!) available at Le Sabot Post-Moderne.
-Dan McMinn of Orange Ukraine has a long post about how Yushchenko needs a sidekick.
-Central Election Commission declares Yushchenko the victor of the presidential election. In other news, Yanukovich plans an appeal to the European Court. This after the Ukraine Supreme Court refused to see his last four complains. Maybe that’s because they were unsubstantiated.
-The U.S. is praising Ukraine for having commited troops in Iraq, whether they withdraw them in the future or not.

UPDATE: Discoshaman now has his January 11 news roundup posted. I keep forgetting about this whole “time zone” thing!
