MOSCOW. April 2 (Interfax) - The legitimacy of the Ukrainian presidential election due in May is under question, Viktor Yanukovych said.
"One should look at how current leaders came to power… There is and was no legitimacy or constitutionality here whatsoever. So the legitimacy of this election remains under big question," Yanukovych said in an interview with Associated Press and the channel NTV.
This election will be of no benefit to Ukraine's partners both in the West and East because "a politically unstable country carries a lot of problems both within the political situation, in Ukraine proper, and outside it," he said.
"So this election is already drawing increasingly more criticism within Ukraine," Yanukovych added.
