BOSTON— Ukraine President Viktor Yushchenko, who survived an assassination attempt and overcame the efforts of Russian-backed political opponents to rig his defeat as the democratically elected leader of Ukraine, has been named the recipient of the 2005 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, it was announced today by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.
[... Ms. Kennedy spoke with President Yushchenko on Monday morning when she notified him of his selection.]
Yushchenko will be presented with the Profile in Courage Award by Caroline Kennedy and Senator Edward Kennedy when he visits the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum this spring.
"Viktor Yushchenko has inspired citizens of the world with his extraordinary courage" said Caroline Kennedy, President of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.
