Emma Ashford: Ukraine’s parliamentary elections could endanger crisis resolution
Pedestrians walk past posters on Independence Square in Kyiv showing the Ukrainian soldiers taking part in anti-terrorist operations (ATO) on Oct. 25, 2014, the eve of the country's parliamentary elections.
Ukrainian voters go to the polls on Sunday, Oct. 26 to elect members of the Verkhovna Rada - the first such parliamentary elections to be held since this spring's Euromaidan protests. Although the last elections took place only in 2012, a new vote is urgently needed to bring the composition of the Rada more in line with the political environment that has taken hold since the ejection of President Viktor Yanukovych in February.
