Ukrainian elections

Yesterday we went to the Ukrainian embassy in Stockholm so Maria could vote in the Ukrainian Presidential elections. The candy-guy, Petro Porosjenko who makes my favourite Ukrainian candy - Roshen Nougat, was the favourite and it seems he got over 50% of the votes in the end, meaning that there will be no second round. Hopefully this will lead to peace and quiet in Ukraine!

The embassy is in Lidingo, an island in the centre of Stockholm, and we ran into several girls and guys wearing Vyshyvankas. There was a Vyshyvanka march yesterday as well, which we unfortunately missed as I had to fly back to London.

Too young to vote but still a supporter for the elections!


Hmm, who to choose?
