Kennedy marked a diplomatic breakthrough in the Cuban Missile Crisis; it was an agreement to remove the weapons, not confirmation that the removal had already been completed.
October 28 is the public announcement of the withdrawal decision, not the completion of dismantling or the later end of the naval quarantine.

The Ukrainian parliamentary election of 2012 took place on 28 October 2012. Because of various reasons, including the "impossibility of announcing election results" various by-elections have taken place since. Hence, several constituencies have been left unrepresented at various times. Unlike the two previous elections, this election used a mixed voting system (50% under party lists and 50% under simple-majority constituencies) with a 5% election threshold and the participation of blocs of political parties was not allowed any more. The method of 50/50 mixed elections was used previously in 1998 and 2002. The election campaign was limited to 90 days.
