INTRO: Ukraine's former prime minister, Viktor Yanukovych, continues preparations to file yet another appeal with Ukraine's Supreme Court contesting the final official results of the December 26th presidential election, which gave his opponent, Viktor Yushchenko, the win.
Supporters of Mr. Yanukovych took to the streets of two cities Thursday in the start of what they say will be a full-scale struggle to have their candidate declared Ukraine's next president. VOA's Lisa McAdams in Kiev reports:

Rival chants of Yushchenko versus Yanukovych rang out in the air. Vladimir, a lawyer in Kiev and a Yanukovych supporter, says the struggle against Mr. Yushchenko has only just begun. He said he and others who back Mr. Yanukovych came out into the streets to protest against what he says was mass falsification during the latest re-run election in the west of Ukraine, a Yushchenko stronghold. Vladimir says everyone should know that if Mr. Yushchenko is ultimately sworn in, there will be tough opposition in the east.
