UCCA and UACC comment on Yuschenko's removal

As The Ukrainian Weekly was going to press, the following statement on the removal of Prime Minister Viktor Yuschenko was received at our editorial offices from the Ukrainian American community's two umbrella organizations.

The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) and the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council (UACC) express their disappointment in the Parliament of Ukraine's no-confidence vote in the government of Prime Minister Viktor Yuschenko.

The Ukrainian American community has always supported and remains fully committed to the Ukrainian people's efforts for human, national and economic rights, as well as to the continued development of Ukraine's statehood.

We, therefore, remain hopeful that Ukraine's commitment to democratic initiatives and market reforms will continue for the betterment of the Ukrainian nation and its overall progress towards its integration into the community of democratic states.

Michael Sawkiw Jr.
President
Ukrainian Congress Committee of America

Ihor Gawdiak
President
Ukrainian American Coordinating Council
