Today, outgoing President Leonid Kuchma ordered officials to draw up plans to pull out Ukraine's troops during the first half of 2005.
Back last fall, Ukraine officials hinted at plans to withdraw the troops as the disputed election was taking place.
"The commission was set to certify the results on Monday and confirm Yushchenko's victory, but Yanukovich's new challenge held up the declaration.
The Central Election Commission had turned down two last complaints by Yanukovich on Monday, the Russian Information Agency Novosti reported."
With all that is going on, upcoming elections and daily assassinations I bet the troops are happy they are being pulled out.
