Ukrainians vote in presidential election

Ukrainians went to polls on Sunday to select a new president, dpa reported.

The run-off vote pitted Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, a populist running on an anti-corruption ticket, against former prime minister Viktor Yanukovych, a politician closely linked with big business.

Polling stations opened at 8am (0600 GMT), with voting scheduled to last until 8 pm (1800 GMT).
