After the first round of voting between Viktor Yanukovich and Yulia Tymoshenko among other candidates, nobody has enough of a majority to win outright so there will be a runoff election. Ukraine has been a country with lots of political infighting after the hopeful Orange Revolution in 2004. This race will signal how Ukraine interacts with the rest of the world, with Yanukovich promising to have a more independent Ukraine and Tymoshenko is more western-leaning.
