What's at stake in Ukraine's presidential election.
Commuters are seen through the window of a public bus as they travel in central Vinnytsia, Ukraine, Wednesday, March 27, 2019. Presidential elections will be held in Ukraine on March 31.
Poroshenko initiated some anti-corruption measures that were demanded by the International Monetary Fund for the release of billions of dollars in loans. But the fledgling efforts suffered a considerable blow this month when the main anti-corruption law was declared unconstitutional. State defense enterprises, meanwhile, are embroiled in a military embezzlement scandal.
The prospects of any resolution of the conflict in the east are dim, though the top candidates have different approaches of how to tackle the issue. Tymoshenko likened that to “genocide” and has vowed to cut gas prices by 50 percent or more. But doing so would risk the disapproval of the international financial institutions giving Ukraine aid; the price hike met demands for the gas market to be rationalized.
