Ukraine’s president urged his country’s elites to condemn anti-Semitism and xenophobia. “There can be no ethnicity issue in a European country,” Viktor Yuschenko was quoted as saying Monday by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency. Yuschenko directed his remarks to artists, journalists and academics. He specifically condemned the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management, known as MAUP, a group that has published anti-Semitic literature. MAUP has drawn the ire of Jewish groups and Israel, most recently for endorsing the Iranian president’s call to destroy Israel.
