>>===== Original Message From Roman Senkus <r.senkus@utoronto.ca> =====
>>>From:   "Adrian Ivakhiv" <ivakhiv@verizon.net>
>>>
>>>Since no one else seems to be forwarding up-to-the-minute news or
>>>suggesting where we can track what's going on, here's what I'm managing to
>>>find.
>>>
>>>With the CEC having announced Yanukovych's decisive lead/victory (49.42%
>>>to Yushchenko's 46.7%, with 99.38% of results counted), in sharp contrast
>>>to the main exit polls, which show a decisive victory for Yushchenko
>>>(53-44 in one, 49.7-46.7 in the other), tens of thousands of people are
>>>gathered in downtown Kyiv and in other major cities protesting the
>>>official results and supporting Yushchenko's claim to victory. Opposition
>>>forces have called for a general strike, but the authorities seem to be
>>>doing what they can to prevent it from spreading (i.e., reportedly
>>>blocking movement of traffic towards Kyiv, blocking cell phone and
>>>telephone access to the Maidan area in downtown Kyiv, blocking news
>>>reports on some radio and television stations, preparing "provocations",
>>>etc.).
>>>
>>>Perhaps most significantly, Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk city councils have
>>>issued declarations recognizing Yushchnko as president. (If police and
>>>army forces can be corralled to their side, this could have the makings of
>>>civil war.) The University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy has also joined the
>>>national strike, with its president (Bryukhovetsky) calling on other
>>>universities to do the same.
>>>
>>><http://maidan.org.ua/>http://maidan.org.ua/
>>>seems to have the most up-to-date news coming in from around the country,
>>>with constant updates.
>>>
>>>The most recent photos I've seen from Kyiv are here:

>>>
>>>The Ukrayinska Pravda web-site
>>><http://www2.pravda.com.ua/>http://www2.pravda.com.ua/ has been up, and
>>>has some recent reports, but these have not been updated as regularly as
>>>maidan's.
>>>
>>>The Pora web site <http://www.pora.org.ua/>http://www.pora.org.ua/
>>>has been up and down, more often (it seems, including right now) down.
>>>
>>>5-tyi Kanal had been hacked into at night and their web site taken down
>>>(after the hackers claimed a Yanukovych victory), but their web site is
>>>now back up, though not being updated regularly:
>>><http://www.5tv.com.ua/>http://www.5tv.com.ua/
>>>
>>>International news coverage can be followed at
>>><http://news.google.com>http://news.google.com, where news of the
>>>Ukrainian election has been one of the two "Top stories" for the last
>>>several hours (whenever I've checked).
>>>
>>>Please share any news and sources.

>>>Thanks,
>>>
