Poroshenko wins in landslide, vows to 'bring peace' to Ukraine (UPDATES)
Kiev Post ^ | 05/25/2014 | Katya Gorchinskaya

Posted on 05/25/2014 11:17:20 AM PDT by WildSnail

Petro Poroshenko wins Ukraine's presidency in the first round, according to the results of two national exit polls, with approximately 56 percent of the vote.

Ukrainians elected Petro Poroshenko to be their fifth president in a vote that was dubbed "the second independence referendum."

Poroshenko won his presidency in the first round, according to two exit polls.

The poll conducted by four TV channels showed that he received 57.8 percent of the vote. The national exit poll, conducted by a consortium of reputable survey takers, put Poroshenko at slightly less -- 55.9 percent of the votes, but still a clear majority.

His main rival, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, received 12.8 of the vote in the TV poll and 12.9 percent in the national poll.

Everyone else finished in single digits in both exit polls.

A second round of voting would have been required on June 15 if no candidate among the 21 on the ballot had secured the majority of votes.

Haha! I think if you’re looking for a doublewide, you’re aiming too high.

Of course there’s Moscow, Idaho to consider too, he may move to a safehouse there.

*facepalm*

You sound like a complete commie. Even in the face of utter defeat, you will still wave the flag and say you won. Maintain the illusion at all costs.

No....Ukraine is the wedge being used by US to curtail the relationship Putin has with the European Countries....and for that matter any others which might garner Putin any degree of power/influence outside Russia. Simply is the name of the game.

Putin wants Ukraine to remain neutral.....rather like Canada is on our Northern Border. The US wants the nations surrounding Black Sea and the Caspian to be under EU influence.

No we are in agreement with ncalburt and snickering at you tcrlaf. Your lies are being countered by a bunch of us and we see you as an enemy of free people both here and in Ukraine.

Blah, blah, blah.

So, disagreeing with EuroMaidanPR propaganda, and trying to divine what BOTH sides are saying makes me “An enemy of Free People”???

Thanks for the good laugh, kid.
You must be a real hit on DailyKos.

About Lasse, countof , caww, tcrlaf, McG, owen, thousands on the net like them—

Bane of the modern world – the weird ‘’ groupthink’’
All around us these days we see examples of what many come to think of as one of the more
illuminating insights into much of what goes on in our modern net world.....

Examples. Some time back, under the heading “Thought police on patrol”, a well-known US journalist,
Charles Krauthammer, reported how his newspaper had received a petition signed by more than
110,000 people calling on it not to have any more anti-man-made global warming reports......
And lately we have seen the extraordinary and unprecedented campaign by so many naysayers on the
internet to demonize and smear Ukraine and Maidan.... Everything they do and say is
criticised, like UKR has early election, guy seems to win big, but they complain that all couldn’t vote
when the terrorists, the naysayers are encouraging, would’nt let people vote in some parts of the Donbass.

Or the naysayers complain he is just a candy making rich guy, who will go bad and
rob the country..They hardly admit to the country being robbed big time of 80 billion
by putlerturd and his stooge yanu-assh...

Or the naysayers complain that new prez is a puppet of obama, when we here in US been telling
them that obama don’t care about UKraine, but is just like putler and the same kind of
fascist/commie who seem to be helping each other to undermine US and Ukraine citizens............

My guess is you are Russian, and a drunk with severe mental illness, just like the thugs in eastern Ukraine. I really need to stop wasting time on your illness being revealed in your dribble here. до свидания товарищ

blah, blah, blah...

You don’t care if I’m Russian, Amrtian, or Amish.

Your objective, and your posting history, is to stifle anything that might not meet today’s lib/OFA current truth. Obama must be defended, right?

Your posting history reveals that you are indeed a “Concern troll”, whose only mission here is to create discontent, like you did during the 2012 election.

Why the big absence, until this started? Too busy posting over at Daily Kos??

gotcha...

You got no one and nothing Ruskie!

I will stack my words and actions here and anywhere else against you Kremlin-boy any time and anywhere.

Unlike you I am pro-American not pro-Russian, who are our enemies. I am a Christian and conservative who stands with and for free people, while you stand with and for totalitarians, thugs, invaders and their muslim terrorist comrades.

During the 2012 election I opposed Obama and every socialist like him, not Obama like you did, Ruskie.

May the brave Ukrainian people take out everyone of your terrorist Russian buddies.

I see you are still ashamed to admit here your are Russian. Why do your posts have that FSB ip address unless that is who you work for? Getting kinda hot for you here at FR with FReepers cutting through your Russian disinformation work, isn’t it comrade?

There’s a lot of bull crap on this thread.....by the looks of responses it sure appears some can’t handle the truth and only lash out.....others just love to fight....I’m of the mind it’s close to impossible to post anything concerning Ukraine on Free Republic without the thugs pounding on any poster who disagrees with them .....I wouldn’t be surprised if they have family members in ukraine and or from that area as their homeland.
