Tymoshenko to fight Ukraine election loss in court
Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko declared on Saturday that she had proof of cheating in a February 7 presidential election by her rival Viktor Yanukovich which she would take to court to contest his victory.
In her first real public appearance since Sunday's poll, the charismatic 49-year-old Tymoshenko said: "I want to clearly state: Yanukovich is not our president. Whatever happens in future, he will never become the legitimately elected president of Ukraine."
But, in a televised broadcast to the nation, she promised not to call people out in mass street protests like those of the 2004 Orange Revolution, when she helped lead a successful challenge to his election and had it overturned as fraudulent.
