Poroshenko wins in landslide, vows to 'bring peace' to Ukraine (UPDATES)
Kiev Post ^ | 05/25/2014 | Katya Gorchinskaya

Petro Poroshenko wins Ukraine's presidency in the first round, according to the results of two national exit polls, with approximately 56 percent of the vote.

Ukrainians elected Petro Poroshenko to be their fifth president in a vote that was dubbed "the second independence referendum."

Poroshenko won his presidency in the first round, according to two exit polls.

The poll conducted by four TV channels showed that he received 57.8 percent of the vote. The national exit poll, conducted by a consortium of reputable survey takers, put Poroshenko at slightly less -- 55.9 percent of the votes, but still a clear majority.

His main rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, received 12.8 of the vote in the TV poll and 12.9 percent in the national poll.

Everyone else finished in single digits in both exit polls.

A second round of voting would have been required on June 15 if no candidate among the 21 on the ballot had secured the majority of votes.

“Yes... That’s why they were ordered to disorganize elections over there...”

Quite likely.
But, for the same reason, the Right-Sector tried to disrupt the Donetsk Referendum. Only the rebels didn’t have to shoot down protesting unarmed civilians to do it.

“what his hero KGB Putie was doing in East Germany with the Stasi in the 1980’s”

I told you... You just didn’t like the true answer. Choosing to disbelieve rarely changes the facts, though.

“How come you aren’t asking that question?”

“And to think our Russian comrades told us the Nazis will control everything.”

Seriously, does lying help you deal with always being wrong, in some sick way?? I’ve been saying for a week Poroshenko was likely to win this thing.

The questions is, what happens NOW...

I know you are quite saddened that the Not-A-Nazi Nazi’s were rejected by the VAST majority of people who voted, but really....

Strawman much...

You Maidan trolls must be really bruised today. Have you declared a period of mourning, yet? Your goose-stepping Not-a-Nazi Nazi hero’s were SOUNDLY defeated.

Fact is, things are about to change, HARD. Where that change goes is anybody’s guess, but that change is coming.

While you are thinking up more Jr. High-type insults, events are fast leaving you behind. But then, that has been the case all along, hasn’t it?

Oh, stuff it. You’ve been yowling for weeks that people who do not accept your “nuanced” way of looking at things are nazi-symps, or worse. Witness your comment some moments past.

Your such a useful idiot for the KGB and your dear Putie,

Sadly, you are so brain dead to realize that if you posted Pro Western posts in Russia / Anti Putie facts you would be dragged out of your home , placed in prison ,and be tried as a Traitor and sent off and never heard from again.

But , instead you post bold faced lies and propaganda for a foreign government hostile to the West and all the freedoms we take for granted here including freedom to post lies for the KGB thugs.

Seek help.

Singing the Soviet national anthem to yourself won’t help, btw. Let us know how RT tries to spin it.

Petro Poroshenko’s problem is he is the choice of Ukraine’s West.

The East boycotted the presidential election which was neither fair nor free.

Unless he agrees to a federal accord for Ukraine, the country will continue to disintegrate.

Thanks for outing yourself as a KGB collaborator / propagandist who has been knowingly posting lies and is working with a hostile country to set up a new Iron Curtain hell in the Ukraine!

Yulia Tymoshenko former Prime Minister of Ukraine failed to get elected. She can run here in 2016. She has an Hawaiian birth certificate and she has a social security number. (Assuming the package I sent her got to her.)

Lol..

Dude...
I’m just a schmuck in an Indiana cornfield trying to figure out what is happening on the other side of the world.

YOU, on the other hand, are a hateful little troll, spamming a single point of view, and throwing around insults like 12-yr old Jr. High Bully.

You aren’t even REMOTELY interested in discussing the FACTS about anything, the only thing you are trying to do is silence any viewpoint that might be counter to EuroMaidan propaganda. Your BS has gotten old, while events just go right on past your B.S....

You’ve become a Baghdad Bob cartoon, with everyone snickering at you.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "West" is. Where did you learn that the East boycotted the vote, and where did you learn that the election wasn't free or fair?
