Ukraine Update 1/16

Discoshaman has posted his Ukraine news roundup for January 16th.

– Katerinchuk, from Yushchenko’s HQ, spoke today about the unprofessioanl nature of Yanukovych’s Supreme Court complaint. Remember, that this is coming from a partisan source. Here’s what he had to say:

1. The majority of the complaints are identical, regardless of their ostensible city of origin. They’re also mostly photocopies.

2. The “Tomes” of the complaint aren’t as Tome-ish as one might think — Tome #10 consists of 1 page, #3 – 9 pages, #6- 8 pages. . .

3. Most of the complaints center on alleged election-day “agitations.” One example — a Mercedes played the Ukrainian anthem with its window down on Election Day. Another from Tome #87 — an urn used for voting had orange plasticine on it.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think Disco was running a satire site.

He also mentions possible tension among the opposition, chiefly from Tymoshenko. This is starting to make me wonder about her ambition.
