Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko leaves the home of a flood victim during his visit to the Ivano-Frankivsk region, close to the Romanian border. Heavy rains in western Ukraine have flooded large areas, leaving at least 13 people dead and forcing the evacuation of nearly 8,000 people. In the Ivano-Frankivsk region alone, some 21,000 homes are flooded.

Written by RFE/RL editors and correspondents, Transmission serves up news, comment, and the odd silly dictator story. While our primary concern is with foreign policy, Transmission is also a place for the ideas -- some serious, some irreverent -- that bubble up from our bureaus.
