She stressed, however, that it is necessary to demand that the negotiations start already during the night and called on pick eters not to go away and on others to join them at 10-00 am Now the presidential administration is guarded by three cordons of soldie rs and police: the first cordon is formed by a "Bars unit that has taken the side of the insurgent nation. The second cordon is formed by a Russian special unit Vitayz. It is hard to understand on which grounds a special unit of a f oreign state is positioned in the Ukrainian land, but it is quite clear who invited them. Nevertheless, the fact that the Vityaz servicemen are accommodated in Irpin, on the premises of the Bars special unit, gives h opes: we are sure that they are going to follow Barss example and choose non-interference. The Regiment of presidential guards forms the third c ordon. More than once we have seen that he told lies even on the highest levels. Still we hope that the authorities will lend an ear to nations opinion an d recognize the road to democracy and freedom chosen by the people peace fully transferring presidential powers to Peoples President Viktor Yushc henko.

KIEV, Ukraine--Ukraines cliffhanger of a first-round presidential vote was resolved on 10 November when the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) announced that the opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko had won a ve ry narrow victory over the serving prime minister, Viktor Yanukovych. Both now enter the second-round run-off, on 21 Novem ber, knowing that the gap in votes--just under 156,000--could be easily overturned in a country of 48 million. While there was never any doubt that both would compete in the second ro und--the remaining 20 percent of the electorate was divided among 22 ot her candidates--the actual result was keenly awaited and 10-day gap bet ween the vote and the final count produced some bitter exchanges.
