From our correspondent from Kiev, A. Vartuli.
There is a strange atmosphere here in Ukraine, especially in Kiev.
All the people have been waiting for such a long time to see the result of presidential elections.
Now here we are, waiting for monday to come, and hoping to have already at the first tour a sure winner.
Unfortunately, this could be very difficult to happen: the favourite of the moment is pro-Russian Yanukovich, with about 30% of preferences; this is not enough to avoid the second tour.
The second important element is the new rating published in the last week, giving as second favorite the entrepreneur Tigipko (president of the biggest insurance company in Ukraine TAS).
If the first tour confirmed this ratings, Timoshenko would be surprisingly excluded from the run.
Let’s hope there will not be other disorders. This is what foreign investors hope and also honest people all over Ukraine.
