In Ukraine, the opposition leader, Mr. Viktor Yanukovych, who won Presidential earlier this month has been sworn in as the country's new President. He swore the oath of office in parliament today, in front of deputies and visiting foreign heads of state and representatives. His electoral opponent, Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, said, Mr Yanukovych won through fraud and refuses to recognise his victory. However international observers have said the election was conducted fairly. Both Mrs Tymoshenko and the outgoing president, Viktor Yushchenko, refused to attend the ceremony.
