Ukraine Marks 92nd Battle of Kruty Anniversary

On January 29, 1918, 400 Ukrainian cadets defended Kyiv against 4,000 invading Bolshevik troops, as Bolshevik Russia sought to overthrow Ukraine’s independent government.

The battle took place at a railroad station near the village of Kruty, 130 km (81 mi) northeast of Kyiv.



Today, Yushchenko and Tymoshenko attended a remembrance ceremony and even exchanged a few words before observing a moment of silence.

Tymoshenko, who campaigns on a patriotic platform, desperately needs Yushchenko voters’ support to win the February 7 runoff.



So don’t expect her to laugh at Putin’s jokes until at least Valentine's Day.
