NEWS ITEM: Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko’s party, Our Ukraine, was excluded from The Dictatorship Resistance Committee – the opposition union of eight political parties. Yushchenko was out for “cooperating with [President Viktor] Yanukovych’s regime.” Yushchenko is blamed for undermining his erstwhile Orange Revolution ally, Yulia Tymoshenko, in the 2010 presidential election, helping Viktor Yanukovych win. He hasn't said much of anything substantial publicly since then and has been seen rubbing shoulders with Yanukovych at various public events.
