Day Four

The Orange Revolution continues! Last night, Yushchenko asked his supporters to stay on the streets and demand democracy in Ukraine. A general strike may be announced soon. At this moment, the capital operates at less than 80%. Buses, metro, and trains run but some stores don’t follow normal hours. Offices work only for a few hours a day. University students are on the streets.
International support for Yushchenko grows: “I got a call from the president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko," Mr Walesa was quoted as saying. "I told him right away I am in solidarity with him, and I'm ready to go." (BBC’s Strike call fuels Ukraine tension)
For those of you with relatives and friends in Ukraine – there haven’t been any violent clashes.
