Following on from a previous post, Kyiv Post is reporting that President Viktor Yanukovych of Ukraine has vetoed a law on security activities.

The website of the Verkhovna Rada (legislature) of Ukraine gives the current numbers of deputies in each parliamentary group. The figures in the English version here are almost exactly the same as the figures in the Russian version here. They are:

Faction of The Party of Regions – 193 deputies
Faction of “The Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc-Batkivshchyna” – 103
Faction of The Bloc ”Our Ukraine – People’s Self-Defence” – 66
Faction of The Communist Party of Ukraine – 25
Faction of the People’s Party – 20
Group “Reforms for the Future” – 20
Non-Affiliated – 23

So, assuming party loyalty, President Yanukovych does not have the support of a majority of deputies, which presumably at least partly explains his frequent use of the veto.
