Ukraine’s parliament is meeting in an emergency session today to debate a motion of no-confidence in Viktor Yanukovich, the country’s pro-Russian prime minister who has been the declared winner of last week’s presidential election. The country’s Supreme Court has entered a second day of closed-door deliberations to determine if the election was rigged. And pro-Western opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko said that if the electoral commission decided to hand him the presidency he would offer the post of prime minister to his opponent. However Yushchenko said that if the Supreme Court ruled that a new election should take place he would propose that neither he nor his opponent, Yanukovich, should run. .
