Ukraine watcher Robert McConnell e-mails unofficial word (“subject line=No official word yet – – but …. “):
The Supreme Court has given the go-ahead for the Central Election Committee to publish the election results after the 19th. (Clearly, the inference appears to be that there weren’t any systematic violations that could threaten the legitimacy of the 12/26 vote.) This final step makes the results official and means that there are no legal obstacles to the inauguration. In other words, the 22nd is still very much on he cards. Rumor has it that the court could reach a verdict on the Yanukovych business as early as tomorrow night.
