Ukraine President Yanukovych Government Survives No Confidence Vote After Surprise EU Snub, "Russian Turn"

`` the opposition missed the required vote count of 221 by a considerable margin. The Party of Regions remained loyal and defeated the motion. Its deputies all abstained from the vote -- with the exception of the one dissenter. The president's camp thus succeeded in bringing most of the doubters in its own ranks into line in time. Shortly before the vote, it was revealed that the influential head of the presidential office would remain in his post after all.''
