Ukraine's parliament passed a
memorandum on mutual
understanding and peace yesterday that guarantees Russian as a state language,
and calls for the decentralization of power.
The move is seen as a concession
by the interim government to pro-Russian residents to ensure that the
presidential election will go ahead as planned on Sunday. But Ukraine's central
election commission said yesterday that 11 of the 34 local election commission
offices in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk were occupied and 8 other
offices were facing the risk of attacks.
