Yanukovych accuses rival of running unfair campaign

Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych accused his rival today of an unfair election campaign in the run-up to the December 26 re-run of the presidential vote and said his camp would retaliate.

Kremlin-backed Yanukovych, whose victory in the November 21 run-off was cancelled by the Supreme Court because of evidence of massive fraud, tried to turn tables against Western-leaning Viktor Yushchenko.
