Ukraine opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko rang in the New Year with Georgia's leader early on Saturday in central Kiev, hours after Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich resigned and all but admitted losing a presidential rerun vote.

If Yanukovich chooses to continue with his appeals over the results of the vote, which he contends was marked with irregularities, Yushchenko's official confirmation as the winner could be put off for weeks as the legal wrangling drags on.
