TIMES WIRE REPORTS
Ukraine’s pro-Western governing coalition, rooted in the Orange Revolution, was reinstated after months of deadlock, with Yulia Tymoshenko likely to remain prime minister.

Groups led by the two antagonists will be joined in the new coalition by a faction led by parliament’s new chairman, Volodymyr Lytvyn.
