KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's parliament Wednesday voted to sack the government of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich to help end a political crisis triggered by his contested election last month as president.

In parliament, 229 deputies, three more than required, voted in favor of sacking Yanukovich, declared winner in the Nov. 21 election, denounced by opposition rival Viktor Yushchenko as being tainted by fraud.

Deputies also voted to create an interim "government of national trust."

"This is a victory not only for the opposition, but for the entire Ukrainian people," said opposition deputy Roman Zvarych.

2. Democracy alive in Ukraine and dead in the USA!

Who would have f-ing dreamed this?
Gutless aren't we! We should have hit the streets and never left. As a nation of gutless wimps I guess we deserve our situation.
