Yulia Tymoshenko conceded defeat

Yulia Tymoshenko conceded defeat Tuesday. She accused President Poroshenko of using dirty tricks to push her into third place but said she would not file legal complaints. Tymoshenko said she would not endorse either candidate in the April 21 second round. Instead, she will focus on the Oct. 27 parliamentary elections. Timothy Ash writes: “She has long had her eye on the parliamentary elections, and constitutional reform, which she has seen as her route to leading the country as PM in a new constitutional set-up where parliament is supreme.”
