( AFP ) - Ukraine's President Viktor Yushchenko set early parliamentary elections for September 30 on Tuesday, signalling the end of a two-month power struggle in the ex-Soviet republic.

Yushchenko signed a presidential decree following the political agreement hammered out last week with his rival Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, who had defied previous orders from the president to hold early elections.
