The strange race for president in Ukraine: President clone, Jewish favorite humorist and dirty tricks (Video)

The famous Ukrainian politician Yulia V Tymoshenko is in the race to become president, but Yuriy V Tymoshenko has joined in.

He is known as the cloned candidate for president, as it is said to have been decided only to confuse people who want to vote former Prime Minister Tymoshenko.

Yulia was actually twice the country's prime minister, even in the most difficult time of severe tensions in the former Soviet country.

Yuri Tymoshenko on the other side is an MP who has no single chance of winning.

Here's what he says about why he entered the race:

I was born with the name Yuri Tymoshenko. I have to seriously worry that there's a woman with the same name who can steal my votes. But I'm curious and I don't fight with women. ”

Yuri's wealth statement states that he earns less than 10,000 dollars a year. As you register as a candidate for president, it's too expensive. A lot of 92 thousand dollars. He says he borrowed that money but that he would manage to send it back.

On the other hand, Yulia Tymoshenko says current President Petro Poroshenko is funding Yuri.

I call the president now. The same way you put Yuri Tymoshencon on the candidate list [for president] remove him and end the dirty tricks. She said:

Polls are leading the Voldymyr Zelenskiy comedy, but very close to Yulia Timoshenkos and Petro Poroshenkos. With only two candidates passing through the runoff, the wrong votes for Yuriy can make the main difference.

Last week, Periscop broadcasts, authorities arrested two men with $18,000 in cash. Prosecutors claim they were connected to Yulia and wanted Yuri out of the race.

Yulia Tymoshenko has denied the charges.
