Ukraine head accepts rival as PM

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has said he will back his arch-rival, Viktor Yanukovych, for prime minister, ending a four-month stand-off.

Mr Yuschenko said Mr Yanukovych had agreed to sign a memorandum on national unity that preserves key areas of the pro-western president's policies.

He announced the move after a deadline for the PM's nomination passed.

Ukraine has been in political turmoil since a parliamentary ballot in March in which no party won a majority.

1. Yanukovych should not follow this agreement.

He is rightly prime minister, having mustered majority support in parliament. The orange faction is dictatorial.
