KIEV, Ukraine - Supporters of opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko kept up their siege of government buildings Sunday, determined to push through election law changes designed to ensure a fair vote in Ukraine's new presidential runoff even after pro-government lawmakers blocked the amendments.
Yushchenko's fiery ally, lawmaker Yuliya Tymoshenko, warned that the opposition must not assume the repeat vote will be free and fair. But she insisted Yushchenko will prevail against Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, who is backed by outgoing President Leonid Kuchma and Russia's President Vladimir Putin (news - web sites).
"We are confident of a colossal victory by Yushchenko," she told journalists, adding that fewer officials are now willing to falsify the vote. "Something has changed, thanks to the people," Tymoshenko said.

Protesters on Sunday also filled out questionnaires in the camps to sign up as polling station monitors.
