The elction re-run in Ukraine gives the West's poisoned and pock-marked darling Yushchenko more than half of the popular vote. His orange-wearing suppporters rejoice in Kiev. Yanukovych, Putin's pet in the blue corner, despite much support from the eastern part of the country (and Russia) does not admit defeat. Is this a sunny dawn for Ukraine's freedom and democracy? Is it the end for Yanukovych? Or will the east secede?
