Timoshenko describes Ukraine's local elections as Armageddon

KIEV, December 24. /TASS/. The leader of Ukraine's Batkivshchina
party, Yulia Timoshenko, has pointed to mass violations in last Sunday's
elections of heads of territorial communities.
"The elections were terrible. I've been in politics for many years and
I've seen many things. What I witnessed this time, though, was
extraordinary," she said. "Ballot papers were photocopied, ballot papers
were totally unprotected, a hundred faked ballot papers with marks
suddenly emerged out of nowhere: Bribery was massive through all resources
available to the current legislators who participated in the election from
the current authorities."
