750,000 to meet at Maidan

Stratfor reports that Ukraine's Constitutional Court is set to rule today on the legitimacy of President Yushchenko's decision to dissolve parliament and call for new elections.

Ahead of the vote, the court's judges have accused the president's rival, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich, of threatening them and are now saying they might boycott the vote.

Approximately 750,000 protesters have flooded into Kyiv in anticipation of the vote.
