Glimpse at Ukrainian Elections 2

The run off ballot is scheduled for the 7th of February, Yanucovich have not knocked out Julia Tymoshenko as many analist forcasted. Nevertheless, voters seem to be willing to punish the protagonists of the Orange Revolution. At stake there is also Kiev's foreign policy. Even though voters have not been sensitive on this matter the outcome of the election will definately influence, in a way or in another, Ukraine's attitude towards the EU.
