Ukraine Endorses New Coalition Government

Ukraine's parliament has confirmed a pro-Moscow politician as prime minister and endorsed a new coalition government including pro-Western elements ending a four-month-long political stalemate. The coalition keeps alive prospects for NATO and the European Union membership.

The new prime minister, the 56-year-old leader of the pro-Moscow Regions party, Viktor Yanukovych, was confirmed in the post by 273 votes in favor, comfortably over the 226 needed.
