 Congratulations to Ukraine and all Ukrainians everywhere for getting to this election and it being conducted--- despite the shadow of Russia.
15% of eligible voters were unable to vote--either on the Crimea or areas where it was too dangerous to attempt setting up ballots.
As I write it has been an overwhelming vote for a Ukraine free of outside influences,free of corruption,free of the past-- and in particular--free of Russia.
Over 80% ( maybe as high as 95% of the vote ) has been pro an independent Ukraine -- only a very small number of votes for pro-Russian candidates.
It has been a magnificent achievement to conduct  a mainly peaceful election day -- a remarkable effort in fact.
There is a lot to do for the new President-- the work of the coalition has been excellent and needs to be carried on-- it is clearly the desire of the people.
Many Ukrainians have a healthy scepticism about governments-- born out of the disappointments in the past and recent past-- but there is a new optimism. The Russian invasion of the Crimea,Russian sponsored and promoted terrorism,Russian propaganda has all helped  break the historic soft spot for Russia-- and created a new sense of Ukrainian identity  and Ukrainian nationalism.
Now for the future--there is a lot to do !!

According to the first data processing protocols, leadership keeps Poroshenko. According to the data processing 10.17% of protocols in electronic form Poroshenko voted 54.8% of voters, Yulia Timoshenko - 13.24%.

I have been asked why I post links-- and others writing-- often there is an excellent assessment and explanation.So much accords with my own views that it is easier to include in full .

Some very interesting writing that is appearing-- here is another summary by a Ukrainian.


"The most important result of the Ukrainian presidential election - is not that the president elected Poroshenko. And is not that the first Ukrainian president is elected in the first round. And not even the fact that Yulia Tymoshenko suffered a serious defeat, calling into question its chances of further participation in the political life of Ukraine on the first cast. most important result of yesterday's presidential election - is the formal, legal death of Putin's myth of the so-called "Splitting" of Ukraine on the west-central and south-eastern parts, to "zapadentsev" and Russian, to "Bandera" and "New Russia." This is a funeral plan under section Putin Ukraine. This final completion period of 20 years "Ukrainianization" important stage towards Westernization and Europeanization of Ukraine, which we discussed here. first elections in two decades in independent Ukraine was elected head of state is not a vote against the inhabitants of East Ukraine votes residents of the West and its votes are not residents of the West against the votes of its inhabitants East. First elected president of Ukraine votes in the whole country, the voices of residents of all major Ukrainian Macroregions. Moreover, the first four of Ukrainian presidential candidate by the number of votes they received in the current elections (Poroshenko, Tymoshenko O.Lyashko, Gritsenko, regardless of the details of their programs and personal qualities) politically represent the West and Centre of Ukraine, it is not the East and South. According to the total number of votes received by them (about 83% - according to exit polls), this means an absolute victory of the national selection Ukrainian citizens western version of a unified Ukraine. Number of votes received by the most popular candidate, which can be considered as a candidate for the "East", S.Tigipko (4.8%), as well as the most popular candidate Putin M. Dobkin (2.1%), means that projects V. Putin to seize the Ukraine, to establish control over Ukraine under section Ukraine suffered a crushing defeat. other words, the intermediate result of a ten Putin's war against Ukraine - despite repeated statements by Putin's propaganda about the alleged his incredible "success and victory" - turned out to be a total collapse of Putin plans in Ukraine. Ukraine is not an Bandera. Or anti-Russian. Or anti-Russian. Ukraine, virtually all of Ukraine, became an anti-Putin. And focus on the integration into the West, ie in the modern world. Congratulations to the brotherly people! Andrei Illarionov,"

BERN, 26 May 2014 – OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and Swiss Foreign Minister, Didier Burkhalter, rates the early presidential elections in Ukraine of May 25 as an important milestone in the process of de-escalation of the crisis. He thanked the election observation mission of the OSCE Office Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) to Ukraine and the observation delegation of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly for their invaluable work.

Commending Ukraine for holding elections with a high turnout, largely in line with international commitments and respectful of fundamental freedoms, despite difficult circumstances and violence and threats in two eastern regions, Burkhalter called on all sides to contribute to a further normalization of the situation in the country. Recalling the mandate of the OSCE Special Monitoring Missions to assist Ukraine in implementing various measures for reducing tensions, he said that the OSCE is looking forward to working closely with President-elect Petro Poroshenko and his government and promised the Chairmanship’s full support in peacefully resolving the crisis.

Burkhalter congratulated Poroshenko on his success and proposed a meeting between the two leaders. He welcomed Poroshenko’s announcement to arrange for early visits in the regions and to look out for co-operative solutions with all sides involved to continue on the path towards stabilization. “It is vital that all sides engage in dialogue, both within and beyond Ukraine,” Burkhalter concluded, adding that the Chairmanship is ready to assist any such efforts if requested by the parties.
