WARSAW, April 11 (RIA Novosti) - Poland's former President Aleksander Kwasniewski has arrived in Ukraine, wrapped in an ongoing conflict between the president- and prime minister-led forces, the Polish PAP news agency said Wednesday.
Kwasniewski, who played a role in Ukraine's 2004 "orange revolution" that swept Western-leaning Viktor Yushchenko to power pushing aside Moscow-backed Viktor Yanukovych, had been invited by the Ukrainian side, the agency said.
Yanukovych earlier said he could ask Russia and Poland for mediation in the crisis triggered by the presidential order to disband parliament and call early elections. Parliament backed foreign mediation in a vote Monday. Yushchenko has said the conflict is Ukraine's domestic affair.
Incumbent President Lech Kaczynski reiterated Wednesday, while en route to an informal EU gathering in the Latvian capital Riga, that he and his Lithuanian counterpart, Valdas Adamkus, were willing to help Ukraine.
