STORYLINE

Leonid Kuchma has presided over Ukrainians since they voted overwhelmingly for independence from the collapsing Soviet Union. But opposition to his scandal-tainted rule has also been growing. Many thousands of demonstrators are expected on the streets of Kiev on March 9th to demand the resignation of their leader. A presidential election is due next year, but it seems many Ukrainians don't want to wait that long.
