BBC News - Ukraine's Tymoshenko bloc 'contesting election result'

Supporters of defeated Ukrainian election candidate Yulia Tymoshenko say they want to challenge the results of Sunday's vote in court.

An MP from her electoral bloc said that it suspected vote-rigging in 1,000 polling stations.

Mrs Tymoshenko has reportedly told allies she will "never" accept Viktor Yanukovych as the winner of the poll.

However, with nearly 100% of the votes counted, foreign monitors are saying the election was free and fair.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

She may hope for another "revolution" of what ever color.But ...there is no money (carrot from the west) any more and obviously there is no will at the electorate to hit the streets. So she will just look ridiculous.
On the other hand people shouldn't harbor too much hope for significant help from Russia. Yes gas maybe flowing but generally it will not be much better.
