From BBC Ukraine,Yushchenko wants to reconstitute the Nasha Ukraina and was not negotiating with BYuT to form a new coalition. He also continues to accuse the other parties of plotting against him and Nasha Ukraina.
As all things, words do not reflect what's going on right now in the political process. Nasha Ukraina, Bloc Lytvyn and BYuT are now trying to form a new coalition. A short piece from the Kyiv Post on the current negotiations.
The president thinks that there is an opportunity to form a new coalition, but there must be a change in obligations and behaviour.
Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said that the conditions amounted to “arm-twisting” on Oct. 1, but said she was ready to accept them.
Lytvyn bloc may function as a moderating force and intermediary between the BYuT and Nasha Ukraina who have struggled to work as a team since forming a coalition last year. It also reflects the limited options available to the parties. The chances of a grand coalition between BYuT and Regions seems to have faded, while there is little chance that the Communists would be included in a BYuT-Nasha Ukraina coalition considering its support for Russian actions in Georiga.
In a related noted from DT, the U.S. Ambassador William Taylor has said that the US will work with any coalition that stays on a democratic path. He also warned the presidential administration against using force in the crisis and said that the crisis is endangers the country's national security.
