Pro-Russia enemies of Nato give Bush a mixed reception in Ukraine- Tony Halpin
About 3,000 Communist and Socialist party supporters rallied in Independence Square, the scene of the pro-Western Orange Revolution in the capital, carrying Soviet-era flags and banners that read “Ukraine against Nato” and “Nato is worse than the Gestapo”, while an effigy of Mr Bush was set on fire. Mr Bush arrives for his first visit to Kiev, before tomorrow's opening of the Nato summit in Romania, determined to show his support for Ukraine's ambition to join the alliance despite strong opposition from Russia.
