Ryzhova [Kyiv]: Report from Ukraine

Anna Ryzhova, Kyiv:

"Today, at noon under the EST time, Ukraine will be watching the nationally televised debate between Presidential candidates Victor Yushchenko and Victor Yanukovych. The debate this time is expected to be different from the previous one. A new format will allow for one-on-one Q&A and discussions between the two candidates. The revote will be held on December 26 that is in a week from now. After the revolutionary events throughout Ukraine, it seems that everybody in Ukraine has already made his or her choice among the two candidates. But still I expect this debate to have an impact on the electorate." [December 20, 2004 – special to JURIST; Anna Ryzhova is an Associate in the Kyiv office of Chadbourne & Parke LLP]
