KIEV, Ukraine Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, apparently narrowly beaten in last week's presidential vote, ended six days of silence on a defiant note Saturday, saying the vote had been rigged and she would challenge the result in court.
Preliminary results from the Feb. 7 ballot gave her rival, opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych, a lead of just 3.5 percentage points. International observers called the elections free and fair, but no official winner has been declared, and Tymoshenko has refused to concede defeat.
She said Saturday she had evidence of fraud and would fight the result, for which the final count is to be announced on Wednesday.
"I have made the only decision I can make to challenge the results in court," Tymoshenko said in the five-minute televised appeal to the public. "Not going to the courts today would mean leaving Ukraine to criminals without a fight."
She asked Ukrainians to support her legal battle to overturn the elections, but urged them not to take to the streets in protest as demonstrations would destabilize the country.
"Ukraine now needs stability and calm like never before," she said.
Her appeal late Saturday appeared to confirm analyst expectations that she is digging in for a standoff with Yanukovych that could delay the transfer of power.
