The second round of the presidential elections in Ukraine risks not taking place, since current President Petro Poroshenko may try to once again introduce martial law, or face a third Maidan due to citizens’ dissatisfaction with massive fraud during the elections.
This opinion was expressed on the NewsOne TV channel by Andrei Senchenko, former people’s deputy and coordinator of Yulia Tymoshenko’s “War Cabinet,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I’m not sure that there will be a second round, because, in my opinion, Petro Poroshenko is now balancing between the third Maidan and another attempt to introduce martial law...
A lot of things can happen between the first and second round, because now people are seeing the preliminary results, and maybe on Monday they will see the so-called final election results, and they understand what, in fact, was wrong, because they heard the opinion their neighbors, relatives and friends, they saw the mood of the people, but the results were completely different,” noted Tymoshenko’s ally.
