President Viktor Yushchenko of Ukraine was yesterday fighting to defend the credibility of the country's pro-western Orange Revolution in his worst crisis since sweeping to power last year.

Simmering disagreements in his shaky coalition have exploded since his powerful chief of staff quit, accusing senior officials of corruption. Even his allies have seized on the political disarray, claiming that little has changed since last winter's dramatic battle for control of the streets of Kiev.

Rumours about the fate of his government swirled through the capital, with one television station reporting the impending resignation of the charismatic prime minister, Yulia Timoshenko.

Another news agency said that the entire cabinet could be forced to step down only months after it was formed.
