Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko on Wednesday abandoned the search for a coalition to take over from the current “orange” government, dissolved parliament and called an early election to the assembly.

Yushchenko blamed Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, his estranged ally from the 2004 “Orange Revolution,” for the collapse of a coalition that emerged from that pro-Western upheaval which swept him to power.

“I am convinced, deeply convinced that the democratic coalition was ruined by one thing alone — human ambition. The ambition of one person,” he said in his address, shown on television while he was making a visit to Italy.

He gave no date for the election, the third in as many years in the ex-Soviet state gripped by political turmoil since the mass protests of 2004. The constitution provides for an election to take place no more than 60 days after dissolution — making December 7 a possible date.

Differences between the president and prime minister focus on a longstanding debate over how to divide up powers in Ukraine and Yushchenko’s allegations that Tymoshenko has been too soft on Russia in its conflict with Georgia.

I believe a wise man toild the readers here to watch the Ukraine for trouble after the Georgia thing.  It is far from over in the Ukraine and the “New Cold War ” will most likely begion in this region.
