SOUNDBITE: (Ukrainian) Viktor Yanukovych, Ukrainian Prime Minister: "You have to bear in mind that all these demonstration at Independent Square (referring to supporters of Yushchenko) is not the whole of Ukraine. There are plenty of people who think differently in Ukraine. The main issue will be people who do not share the orange point of view, what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to come out and rally as well? I am convinced that the path of rallies or demonstrations leads nowhere." 5, Wide of tent camp getting ready for a wedding 6. Bridal gown 7.

"There are plenty of people who think differently in Ukraine. The main issue will be people who do not share the orange (opposition candidate Victor Yushchenko) point of view, what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to come out and rally as well?" he told a meeting of foreign ambassadors in Kiev. Ukraine's election will be decided in an unprecedented third round on Dec. 26 - a rerun of the fraud-marred runoff in November which was annulled by the Supreme Court. Earlier on Tuesday Yanukovych pledged to protect Ukraine's unity and not support any attempts to divide or split up its territory. The campaign has split the country, with the west and Ukraine's cosmopolitan capital backing reformist, Western-leaning opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, while the Kremlin-backed Yanukovych has received strong support from the industrial east, which favours closer ties with Russia. Several eastern regions supporting Yanukovych threatened recently to hold referendums on greater autonomy from central government, but most of the plans have since been put on hold. On Monday, Yanukovych and Yushchenko went head-to-head in a televised debate during which both acknowledged the urgent need for unity. The two candidates traded heated accusations, with Yushchenko charging that his rival stole (m) millions of votes in last month's runoff vote. Yanukovych warned that Yushchenko would never win over Ukraine's Russian-speaking east, and called on his opponent to work with him to heal the wounds exposed by the bitter presidential race. Yanukovych also urged whoever loses Sunday's rerun to accept defeat. Also on Tuesday, Roman and Anastasia, a couple who met at the pro-Yushchenko demonstrations, were married by a Protestant priest.
