The Central Election Committee of Ukraine officially announced the winner of the presidential vote in Ukraine on February 15 – Viktor Yanukovych. Yanukovych stated that his presidency would not weaken Ukraine. “You are wasting your time if you are waiting for this. I am certain that I will have enough determination to protect Ukraine’s national interests in the relations with all partners and neighbors of Ukraine,” he said.

Ukraine’s relations with Russia will improve no matter who eventually takes the president’s office. Yushchenko and his team did their best to worsen Ukraine’s relations with Russia as much as possible. The winner’s name has not been announced officially yet, but everyone knows that Ukraine will have another Viktor at the head - Viktor Yanukovych

The presidential election in Ukraine will most likely end with another huge fight. Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russia candidate, the leader of the Party of the Regions, is less than three percent ahead of Ukraine’s sitting Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. All international observers from the OSCE, PACE and other Western institutions acknowledged that the presidential vote in Ukraine did not violate any international democratic standards. The media already refer to Yanukovych as Ukraine’s next president

How things have changed. The People Power colour revolutions have spluttered and now faded away as reality starts to bite, as it becomes increasingly apparent that people are not easily duped by pie-in-the-sky promises and crucially, as it becomes blatantly obvious that each nation occupies a cultural space that has to be respected.

The American media is already declaring Ukrainian "democracy" dead. Why? Because the people have decided they have had enough of that "democracy": of the infighting of the Western puppets and thieves, installed with massive US/EU funds, destruction of the economy, and slaving to the NATO/US/EU complex. Now the upcoming loser and still Western glamour girl, who is about to be trolloped royally, has declared that Yanukovich, who is clearly leading to win, is preparing to seize power by force

Ukraine's presidential election is set for a second round run-off after partial results showed no candidate would win more than 50% of the vote. Analysts charge the results off to the Orange Revolution consequences.

Ukraine is holding a presidential election, with candidates including President Viktor Yushchenko, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and former prime minister and opposition leader Viktor Yanukovich.

Three weeks are left till the election of the new Ukrainian President. Sociological services do not have much time for pre-election polls. According to the legislation, the results of opinion polls may not be published less than two weeks before the election. An interesting poll was conducted in Washington in December. Since none of the candidates would be able to secure over 50 percent in the first round, the winner will be determined in the second round

Denis Netcheporuk, after making a comparative picture of Ukraine before the reversal of socialism with the present day concludes: "All the reforms of the market converged towards the same end: the privatization of social property, the destruction of collective farms and the successive introduction of a liberal regime at the service of large landowners. Unfortunately everything was done to provide for the prosperity of a minority and the impoverishment of the majority."
