Yanukovich 31.5% : Tymoshenko 27.2%

Just as expected - there will be a second round scheduled for Feb 7th. I will be surprised if Tymoshenko wins in three weeks.
Council of Europe observers deems presidential election in Ukraine transparent and in compliance with the international standards.

Interestingly the guy who made a mockery of elections calling himself "Proti vsih" ("Against all") got 2.7% of votes: http://www.pravda.com.ua/articles/4b53427d2fdea/. He holds 7th place among 18 candidates. This shows how disillusioned is Ukrainian electorate.

The weather forcast is another week of surviving at -11 celsius.
