Ukraine's Moscow-backed prime minister, Viktor Yanukovich, will stand in the Dec. 26 repeat run-off against opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, his spokeswoman said on Saturday. Asked if Yanukovich would run, spokeswoman Anna German said: "Yes. It's true." "He is convinced he will win the second time as he won the first time since 15 million Ukrainians stand behind him," she said.
