KUCHMA ANNOUNCES COMPROMISE

At 7:25pm Kiev time President Kuchma held a press conference to announce a compromise reached at the round table discussions (more or less).

1) Reaffirmed no use of force.
2) Restablish the normal work of government agencies. (Stop blockade of buildings.)
3) Establish judicial working group.
4) Possibility of amendments to laws/constitution of Ukraine
5) All political forces to recognize the need to maintain the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
6) To conduct next session of round table after the results of Supreme court are known.

Nothing much. Mostly a photo op. Lasted about 10 minutes with no questions from reporters.
Yushchenko finally gave Yanukovich a very weak handshake and they both gave weak smiles for the cameras.

The comment re territorial integrity is very nice.
