Is this going to be another example of western 'democracy' - if you don't like the result, keep on holding votes until you get the result you want, or protest in the streets until you get another vote.

I always enjoy reading the intelligent discussions at Russia Today. Now that the UKRAINE election has demonstrated the agendas sold GLOBALLY are NOT roses, oranges or any sort of revolution to be staged - other than for those who have mass murder imaginations. The rumor mill: standing in the Middle East is a high peak which a certain cult of evildoers have in mind to mount a one world crime boss to rule the earth's bounty for all the same cultists who appear to not be human after all. Bill Clinton's rush to stop the BAPTIST organization from being outed, the fanatic religion business bought by the House of Rockefeller as the best investment ever made, cultists who are sent to round up all the children, got caught in Haiti. This is not west-east, just another one of the word storage armies to march our brains in lock step to NoWhereVille. It is a serious struggle as always between the dark and the light. In the 21st Century it may or may not be an average day, since the world has had enough of the satanist rule of those who imagine only being vampires. The dressed up Russian doll of antiquity as a matriarchal ruler so the queen of the dark lord can see their own, is the proof in the 21st Century there is a defunct imagination in those who think west and east, since the world is round. We must learn to outsmart those who sell us west-east.

Yulia Tymoshenko ran and hid behind her couch as soon as the election results came in - just like a little girl she has been all her life. She loves to parade around in her braided hair and white flowing gowns as if she had stepped straight out of Starwars movie, and wiggle for all to admire. I am surprised that she got as far as she did in Ukrainian politics. I suppose the Ukrainian love affair with herl is a reflection of the immature of Ukrainian voters. When will she come out of hiding, and what will be the first words out of her mouth? The first words out of her mouth will be: "The election was a fraud and I want the courts to declare the election invalid". Of course, Yulia will also threaten that if she does not get her way, she will lead another "Orange Revolution" to cause chaos in Ukraine. Then, she will run back behind the curtails to the cheers of her husband and their cronies. Such is politics in Ukraine.

It seems that in any election now the losing candidate declares 'fraud'. In this case, it appears to have been free and fair, and the decision of the electors decisive. Let us hope that the Ukraine can move forward in a peaceful, democratic fashion

Well the former president did no favours to its people,most of these countries have strong ties with russia,anyway europe could not keep bailing out ukraine under its previous leader.time the country went back and invest in its future prosperity.countries divided, never progress.

So whats it going to be this time? Pink or yellow revolution ?

Absolutely brilliant at last a Leader now Ukraine can be very much proud of and a valuable ally toward Russia and having a neutral stance with regarding the European Union and European Integration Policies, This election was indeed one to watch for Ukraine in general and all over the world, maybe now as the "Orange Revolution" era can now be buried and Ukraine moves on from this rather repulsive stall in Ukraine's Post-Soviet progress on being an independent republic. So as there is a new Leader in Ukraine I hope Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich creates more constructive policies than his failed predecessor's in the past. I personally will watch the new transformation of Ukraine highly closely here on Russia Today my most favourite News Broadcaster. Finally Russia now has a revival of an old ally in the form of Ukraine and can now pick up from they left off before the "Orange Revolution". Finally the United State's unfortunately has lost political meddling from within Ukraine, Ukraine must indeed think for themselves this will bring all of Ukraine in a future of peace and prosperity beyond their wildest dream's and show the world that being an Independent thinker is the best way foreward and I personally give all the best of luck to all Ukrainian's welcome to your new dawn make it a great one. Impera.

The people of this country are sick and tired of five orange chaos...

one of my friends in ukraine told me that she voted for yanukovich since he is ruusian. I replied: why vote for him, he is a dirty currupt thief, just like all of them high ranking ukrainian politicians. She replied: I chose the better of the two evils, at least the relations with russia wont worsen. Though i doubt economy will recover.
