ウクライナ、国会空転・14日まで再び休会

【モスクワ＝古川英治】ウクライナで7日に招集された最高会議（国会）が空転し、14日まで再び休会することになった。3月末の議会選挙から続く親欧米３党による連立政権交渉がまとまらないためだ。首相ポストを巡る対立に加え、北大西洋条約機構（ＮＡＴＯ）の加盟問題でも意見の違いが表面化し、政局混乱が深まっている。
国会では7月に計画するＮＡＴＯ軍との共同軍事演習の承認採決が予定されていたが見送られた。演習地となる黒海のクリミア半島でロシア系住民による反対デモが拡大。連立交渉の一角を占める社会党が慎重姿勢に転じ、可決のメドが立たなかったためとみられる。社会党は7日までに現在作成中の連立合意文書からＮＡＴＯ加盟に関する条項の削除を求めると表明している。
3月末の選挙では親ロシア派の地域党が第１党に台頭。親欧米路線を継続するため、ユーシェンコ大統領の「われらのウクライナ党」はティモシェンコ前首相の政党、社会党と連立交渉を続けている。 (21:00)

World Cup: Burden is on Shevchenko
Nathaniel Vinton The New York TimesPublished: June 13, 2006
BERLIN The cooling towers of two nuclear reactors were chugging out a cloud of steam on the distant horizon as the Ukrainian soccer team landed in Berlin late last week. It was a fitting backdrop for these men, many of whom were toddlers when disaster struck their country on April 26, 1986.
Among the thousands of families displaced by the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown was that of Andriy Shevchenko, who was 9.
Twenty years later, he is captain of the Ukrainian team and one of the most menacing forwards at this World Cup. Whatever dislocation he may have felt as a youth in Kiev, or later as he fought his way up the mercenary ranks of European soccer, has probably been eased by the attentions of his wife (a Minnesota-bred model named Kristin Pazik) and the heft of his paycheck (one of the biggest in soccer).
The enormous success Shevchenko has found since leaving his homeland in 1999 to play for Milan hasn't changed him, his fans say.
"He's got an American supermodel wife, and he's made millions, and Silvio Berlusconi is his son's godfather, but he's still a regular guy," said Pavlo Kornienko, a 19-year-old Ukrainian studying in Halle, Germany. "When he first started scoring big goals, he seemed almost shy. He's never showing off."
Kornienko came to the team's training base in Potsdam over the weekend to watch the secretive squad's only open practice session. He is one of the 130,000 Ukrainians officially living in Germany (more are here illegally). Hundreds of them turned out in leafy Potsdam to support - and also to examine - their beloved "Sheva."
He injured his left knee in Milan's match against Parma on May 7 and stayed off the field for a month. But he looked his dangerous self June 8 in a friendly against Luxembourg, where he roved the space before the goalmouth and scored once. Ukraine's coach has been unforthcoming about the status of his star's knee, but that may be meant as a psychological trick on Spain, which Ukraine meets in Leipzig on Wednesday. It will be one of the most balanced matches of the tournament so far, as well as the first and most important game in Group H, which also includes Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.
"Spain is a great team with a very complete squad," Shevchenko said Saturday. "I know many Spanish players and they are very talented. It would mean a lot to beat them and give us a lot of confidence for the rest of the tournament. If we beat Spain, it means we can go far."
Ukrainian expectations are high from Dnipropetrovsk to Chop, where job productivity is expected to nosedive Wednesday. According to The Associated Press, Prime Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov said he expects "an epidemic of unexplained illnesses to appear" on the exact hour of the match.
Those looking for the nationalist subplots that the World Cup is famous for can find it here. Ukrainians contributed to Soviet efforts in previous decades, but this is the country's first World Cup since the disintegration of the Soviet Union (not to mention last year's Orange Revolution).
"Even the experts say we're at least going to the quarterfinals, but that would just be an appetizer before the dinner," Kornienko said.
Much of the team's fate will be resolved by Shevchenko.
If things don't go well for him, he can take solace in cold, hard cash. Just last month, Shevchenko was transferred from Milan to Chelsea with much fanfare. Acquiring him reportedly cost the English powerhouse $60 million, with Shevchenko supposedly positioned to rake in more than $200,000 a week of play. The striker's allegiance thus shifts from one tycoon to another; Shevchenko has been close to Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister who owns Milan, but last month it was Roman Abramovich, Chelsea's owner, who finally wooed him away to London.
One of the so-called Russian oligarchs, Abramovich has generated controversy and trophies at Chelsea by using his tremendous fortune to buy up international talent. In London, Shevchenko and his wife are likely to become a subject for the paparazzi.
Shevchenko certainly looked the part last week, disembarking from Ukraine's charter plane in Berlin wearing a well-tailored suit and a pair of Onassis glasses. Behind him came his teammates, some with long pageboy haircuts and others with even longer surnames. He crossed the tarmac with the confident swagger habitual to even the most modest of soccer stars and doubled back when reminded to shake hands with Ukraine's ambassador to Germany, Igor Dolgov, who was eager to greet him.
Afterward, Dolgov affirmed that Shevchenko has a Ukrainian soul. That's something that no Russian oligarch can hire away.
"It is most important is that he feels Ukrainian," Dolgov said. "It is important that he has strong attitude about the motherland."
