Not sure if Eastern-European is refering to Poland (i mean in the sentence above), but Polish observers have found some MAJOR violations andeveryone (not any given political fraction, but every fraction) and every observer we have/had there is sure that the violations affected the results of elections in Ukraina.
Now if you ask me, i don't think that Yanukovich had to win 75% to 25%.
I say that:
a) everything before the election day was unfair and in favour of Yanukovich, especially when we speak about closing the "independent" TV stations, advertisements times and so on...
b) as far is i hear, there is a SERIOS doubt if the results are not fake
c) i see a lot of folks protesting the results
so i think that something is wrong.
I'm far from saying that EU or USA have much to say about it.. as it's Ukrainian and Ukrainian ONLY business, BUT
if Russia can say a word and can support Yanukovich, any other country have the same right to support the other candidate.
As i said, the best option would be if Ukraina can solve the problem by itself, without a help from Russia, EU and USA, that'd be the best way.
