EVENT:
Speaker of parliament Arseniy Yatsenyuk was dismissed yesterday.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Yatsenyuk was a key ally of President Viktor Yushchenko, whose political capital has been further weakened by Yatsenyuk's departure. The president has also been forced to rethink his strategy of supporting early parliamentary elections, as the domestic effects of the global financial crisis have impelled Ukraine's sparring leaders to focus on economic exigencies.
