Outsiders warned off Ukraine Poll

Ukraine's opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko has urged foreign nations not to interfere in the re-run of the presidential poll.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been openly backing Yanukovych. Putin made two visits to Ukraine in the run-up to the original vote. Tens of thousands of pro-Yushchenko supporters continued to hold their rallies in the capital, Kiev, and around Ukraine, buoyed by the court's decision on Friday to stage a repeat re-run. Yanukovych described the ruling as an unconstitutional measure but said he would contest the re-run.
