Yanukovich wins Ukraine election-exit polls

Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovich looks to have achieved a remarkable comeback in Sunday's election as official results put him ahead of his bitter rival, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

AFP - Opposition leader Viktor Yanukovich was on course Sunday to win Ukraine's presidency, exit polls showed, after voters punished pro-Western politicians and paved the way for closer ties with Russia. (Emphasis added)

If confirmed, the results of the election would mark a startling comeback by the pro-Moscow Yanukovich, who lost a bid for the presidency in 2004 in the wake of the pro-Western Orange Revolution uprising.

==================================

Not a great development. Pro-Russia male (opposition) candidate wins over pro-Western world female (incumbent) Yulia Tymoshenko.  Polls had anticipated this outcome though.

Yanukovich is Putin's puppet.
