Ukraine’s former prime minister Yuliya Tymoshenko on Tuesday denounced the results of a “rigged” vote that eliminated her from the presidential race, but said she would not urge street protests. Tymoshenko, an internationally recognised political figure, came third in Sunday’s first-round vote in what was also her third bid for the presidency. With 99 percent of the ballots counted, Zelensky was ahead with more than 30 percent of the first-round vote, nearly twice that of Poroshenko, on almost 16 percent.
