Ukraine Updates
Ukrainian opposition supporters encircled the presidential and Cabinet buildings on Friday, refusing to let anyone pass in a bold move ahead of the arrival of four European envoys sent to defuse the electoral standoff.
Ukraine's Supreme Court barred the publication of the official presidential election results for a week until it has examined an appeal lodged by the opposition against them, a spokeswoman told the foreign media.
The president of Ukraine has reportedly decided to meet with the opposition candidate for president. Russia's Interfax news agency says the meeting will take place today. It also says European envoys will present for the meeting between President Leonid Kuchma and Viktor Yushchenko

From Notes from Keiv:

Residents with apartments overlooking the Presidential Administration grounds last night witnessed the burning of documents. It lasted from 9:00pm to 3:00am. It also has been suggested the Russian troops at the Presidential Administration are there to destory documents that Russia/Kuchma might wish to keep away from public view. Apparently this was done in Iraq and Geogria before their fall.
