TOMSK, Russia, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Russia expects to see improved relations with Ukraine after Victor Yanukovych won Sunday's presidential election, Kremlin spokeswoman Natalya Timakova told reporters on Feb. 11.
The Kremlin said Russia hoped ties would improve once current President Victor Yushchenko left office.
"The president… congratulated Yanukovych with his success and his position is well known: he (Medvedev) was not ready to work with Yushchenko," Kremlin spokeswoman Natalya Timakova told reporters in the Siberian city of Tomsk.
"Any other democratically elected president we view as a partner," she said. "We do not see any problems and very much hope that our relations will be better than they were under Yushchenko."
