: : It's pretty hard at this point to count votes, Yushenko's party clearly has the largest block, but it's still inadequate, he'll have to make a large number of alliances and beat out the opposition who will try to do the same, you're right though, power will be negotiated on some level, meanwhile I expect huge money to flow in from Russia to try and tip the scales in their favor, this will certainly work against Tymoshenko, but I don't see Russians pouring money on Yushenko, this'll take some thought to see what the Russians will do, just promote Socialists and Communists and make them more powerful?

: Nope, my feeling is Kremlin money goes to Tymoshenko by way of Yanukovych and his party. Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
"Ousted Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Sunday night appeared on the Kremlin-controlled NTV Russian television for an interview in which she pledged to work hard to improve relations with Russia.
Tymoshenko said Ukraine and Russia had a number of important projects to work on and added that she planned visit to Moscow soon.
"It doesn't matter in which capacity will I come, but I really would like to improve relations with Russia," Tymoshenko said, speaking in Russian and smiling while responding to a question of whether she had planned to visit Moscow in the capacity of the president of Ukraine."
