Who is the president of ukraine?

Answer 1

Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych was the last official President of Ukraine.

Oleksandr Valentynovych Turchynov is the current Acting President of Ukraine.

Yanukovych became the 4th President of Ukraine on 2010 February 25.

Born in 1950, he first became a politician in 1996 when he was appointed vice-head of Donetsk. He became the governor a year later, serving for 5 years. He was appointed to Prime Minister in 2002 and while Prime Minister, ran for president in 2004. Although initially Yanukovych was declared the winner, the Supreme Court of Ukraine declared the results invalid, and the final run-off of the election was repeated. Yushchenko came out victorious.

Yanukovych led the main opposition party from 2005 until the parliamentary elections in mid 2006, after which he was again made Prime Minister until 2007 December. In the 2010 election, Yanukovych again ran for president, and this time he beat out Prime Minister Tymoshenko in the run-off to win the presidency.

Unfortunately, massive corruption in Yanukovych's regime caused him to be removed from power and forced Yanukovych to flee to Russia. The legitimacy of his removal from power has not been fully constitutional, but may be a moot point in the current political climate of Ukraine, considering the Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea as well as continued instability in Ukraine.
There is no ruler. The democratically elected president is Petro Poroshenko.

The current Ukrainian president is Viktor Yushchenko.
