The OSCE's election monitors in Ukraine have said the Ukrainian presidential elections went in accordance with international norms and standards.
“These elections have confirmed that the people of Ukraine choose
democracy,” Joao Soares, special coordinator of the OSCE election
monitoring mission in Ukraine, said at a press conference in Kyiv on
Monday.
The election monitors pointed to the high voter turnout in Ukraine.
Among the main flaws of the elections were problems with the election
campaign and the voting in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and also
technical problems that led to lines at polling stations.
