Blue &Yellow: Politics and Economics in Ukraine

It appears that Regions won't give up blocking the Rada today. According to BBC Ukraine, Regions will not budge until the bill on minimum wage is taken up by the Rada. BYuT deputy Serhiy Mishchenko thinks that Yushchenko will try to dismiss the Rada using Regions blocking as cover. The BYuT deputy believed Yushchenko could dismiss the Rada after 2nd August, but UNIAN pointed out that the 24th July deadline on dismissing the Rada. As the next presidential election would be six months away, the president would not be able to dismiss it. And so the president, Regions,and BYuT may be heading to a new confrontation on Rada elections by the end of the month.
