UKRAINE / EU : Prez. Yanukovych Pardons Opposition's Ailing Lutsenko.
President Viktor Yanukovych pardoned 6 people...including ailing former Interior Minister Yuri Lutsenko.
Lutsenko...an ally of still jailed former PM Yulia Tymoshenko...was serving 4 years for corruption.
Just last week...a Kyiv court had denied his appeal.
The EU has long wanted his release.
