Foreign observers accuse Ukrainian government of electoral fraud
The European Union says Sunday's run-off presidential election in Ukraine did not meet democratic standards and has asked Kiev to review the election results. The senior United States observer of the elections, Senator Richard Lugar, has accused the Ukrainian government of rigging the elections in favour of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich.
With more than 99 percent of the votes counted, the official results give the Russian-leaning prime minister more than 49 percent of the vote, compared to over 46 percent for his pro-Western challenger, Viktor Yushchencko. However exit polls had shown that Mr Yushchencko was in the lead.

Wow. I guess American democracy has taken root in Eastern Europe then. Sure sounds familiar.
