A rally organized by the Communist party will be held at 14.00 in Kyiv to protest a visit to Ukraine by US Pres Bush and “the dragging of Ukraine into NATO,” VR lawmaker Leonid Hrach said.

“We are going to enroll about 10,000 of our supporters from all over Ukraine. A similar action, the Crimean protest meeting, was held on Saturday, March 29 in Simferopol. We decided to set up an international tribunal to bring Bush to account for all his crimes against humanity, specifically, for his role in the Balkans crisis,” Leonid Hrach said. He added that the rally is expected to be attended by “representatives of the Regions, SDPU, SPU, Volha party and other progressive forces.”

Meanwhile, according to the Lviv oblast Communist party committee, no representatives will be sent to Kyiv, “as there is no need.” “In Kyiv we have enough supporters,” local Communist chief Oleksandr Kalyniuk said.
