TAKE-A-LOOK-Ukraine IMF bailout in jeopardy

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko signed a bill on
Friday that would increase the minimum wage by over 20 percent
-- a move the International Monetary Fund chief said placed its
$16.4 billion bailout "off-track".

To make matters worse, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
said Yushchenko risked provoking a new gas crisis that could
disrupt supplies to Europe and the government closed all public
events and imposed restrictions on people's movements around the
country after confirming its first death from H1N1 swine flu.
