Ukraine does not have as much power in world politics as the USA. This is the reason for which most of the countries of the world followed the US elections extremely closely. The Ukrainian elections, as they are in a country in Eastern Europe which does not carry a lot of power on the international stage will be closely followed only by its neighbours and the EU, since Ukraine is a potential candidate for joining the EU. Irregularities were found in the Ukraine vote and now the story has been becoming bigger and bigger and has over the past few days made it onto the main story once or twice even on CNN, so I don't think Americans are that unconcerned about it. Most of them probably won't care too much as they are not going to be affected by it, whatever the outcome to it is.
