Verkhovna Rada votes for Yanukovich’s Russian-speaking support base Ukraine’s Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, voted on Monday against repeal of a controversial bill granting Russian language official status in about half of Ukraine’s regions. Opposition members unsuccessfully introduced four different draft resolutions aimed at abolishing the Rada's July 3 approval of the bill, which critics say was rushed through the Rada unconstitutionally by the ruling Party of Regions to score political point with President Viktor Yanukovich’s Russian-speaking support base. The Rada also voted against the resignation of its Speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn, who stalled the passage of the original language bill by refusing to sign it into law. Lytvyn tendered his resignation on July 4 in protest. The bill requires the signature of both the parliament speaker and the president to become law. Today’s extraordinary session of Parliament, which had gone on recess...

Ukraine FTA with the CIS. Ukrainian parliament ratified a free trade zone agreement on Monday with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).The Economic Council of the CIS states approved in April 2011 a draft agreement on a free trade zone that would move the grouping of most of the former Soviet republics further toward liberalized trade. The agreement was signed in October 2011. Ukraine became only the third country which ratified it after Russia and Belarus.The CIS includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. The document was originally drafted by Russia's Economic Development Ministry in 2008. The agreement stipulates cutting import duties to a minimum, and suggests that export duties be harmonized and eventually abolished. Ukraine, whose trade with the CIS countries amounts to $140 billion a year, also intends to go ahead with its plans to c...

Ukraine:Yulia Tymoshenko is chosen opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, who resigned as prime minister after losing the presidential election to Viktor Yanukovych in February 2010, is charged with illegally diverting $425 million meant for environmental projects into pension funds. A second case includes accusations of spending 100 million euros ($131 million) from government reserves to buy cars that she later used in her presidential campaign. Jailed Ukrainian ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has been chosen by the country’s main opposition parties to lead them to victory in parliamentary elections slated for October. A statement issued at the end of the united opposition parties’ congress on Monday endorsed the candidacy of the former prime minister to head the opposition parties' electoral lists in the elections. The move may be simply symbolic for the embattled former prime minister because Ukrainian law prohibits people who are servi...

Joe Biden:Romney has spending advantage Naresh -- This isn't hyperbole or exaggeration: If we don't win this election, it will be because we didn't close the spending gap when we could. Because right now we're seeing that voters have a choice between two very different men. And the only way someone like Mitt Romney -- who's asking Americans to put him in charge of their taxes while refusing to come clean about his own, who wants to repeal Obamacare, end Medicare as we know it and give more tax breaks to billionaires who don't need them -- defeats someone like Barack Obama, is if the other side spends us into oblivion. Tomorrow is the most urgent fundraising deadline of this campaign so far. Will you make a donation of $3 or more today to make sure we can keep this close over the last 100 days? It's already starting on TVs and radios in swing states, and it's not going to stop. In the last two weeks of th...

Referendum to impeach embattled Prez Traian Basescu failed Romania’s Central Electoral Bureau said that the voter turnout in Sunday’s referendum stood at 45.9 percent, which was short the majority out of some 18.3 million eligible Romanian voters. Basescu, who has been in power since 2004, was suspended by the parliament before the referendum. He has seen his popularity slump after he backed tough austerity measures demanded by Romania's international lenders. The center-left government led by Victor Ponta accused Basescu of exceeding his authority, undermining the rule of law and meddling in government affairs. Basescu has denied the accusations and has urged Romanians to boycott Sunday's referendum.  A national Romanian referendum to impeach embattled President Traian Basescu for overstepping his powers has failed due to a low voter turnout

Syria's charge d'affairs in London defects Syria's top diplomat in London resigned Monday in protest against the "violent and oppressive" acts of President Bashar al-Assad's regime, the British Foreign Office said. The move comes after a series of defections by senior Syrian officials in recent weeks, including diplomats in several countries and top army officers. The Foreign Office said in a statement that charge d'affaires Khaled al-Ayoubi had informed it on Monday that he had "left his post", describing it as a blow to the Syrian government. "Mr al-Ayoubi has told us that he is no longer willing to represent a regime that has committed such violent and oppressive acts against its own people, and is therefore unable to continue in his position," it said. Britain expelled the previous Syrian charge d'affaires, Ghassan Dalla, and two other diplomats in May. Syria had earlier withdrawn its...

SKorea wins rights to undersea mine in Indian Ocean July 30, 2012 South Korea on Monday announced that it has secured exclusive rights to explore and develop a deep sea mine in the resource-rich Indian Ocean that can produce over USD 300 mn worth of minerals like gold, silver and copper per year.
