MOSCOW, February 2 (Itar-Tass) -- State Duma deputies will monitor the second round of presidential elections in Ukraine on February 7, delegation deputy head and Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs and Fellow Citizens Alexei Ostrovsky told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
“The State Duma deputies will visit Ukraine together with a delegation of the CIS Parliamentary Assembly on February 5-9 to watch the final phase of the election campaign, the ballot and the count of votes. The Russian parliamentarians will do the monitoring in Kiev, Donetsk, Odessa, Simferopol, Lvov and Ivano-Frankovsk,” he said.
“Preliminary results of the election may become known on February 8, and the Ukrainian Central Elections Commission will post official results on the day defined by national laws,” he said.
Asked whether provocative actions, similar with the arrival of Georgian ‘election observers’ in Donetsk on January 17, were possible in the second round, Ostrovsky said, “I do not rule out anything in the modern Ukrainian politics.”
Party of Regions leader Viktor Yanukovich and Prime Minister Yulia Timoshenko will compete in the second round of the election.
