U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was meeting with Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko Tuesday. Yushchenko welcomed Biden to Ukraine, calling it a «European country where democracy rules.» «We are going forward, we have chosen a European path,» Yushchenko told Biden at the start of the meeting. «There is a lot of homework to do, because sometimes it is very difficult.» Reporters were ushered out of the meeting room in the presidential residence in Kiev before Biden began to speak. Biden will meet Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko later Tuesday as well as key opposition leaders, who all plan to participate in January's presidential elections, the Associated Press reported.
