Pre-term elections to the Ukrainian parliament are a cause for concern, said Polish expert on eastern politics Wiesław Romanowski, Polish Radio reported.

Third elections over two years mean that Ukraine is not just temporarily in crisis, but the political chaos lingers on, Romanowski told Polish Radio.

New elections will not bring to power any new parties so not much will change in terms of the political make-up in Ukraine, he said. It is Moscow, who benefits from the chaos, says Romanowski: `It is not Yanukovych, nor Yushchenko, nor Tymoshenko, who is the ally of Russia in Ukraine. The ally of Russia in Ukraine is crisis.`

The dissolution of the parliament may be an obstacle for Ukraine in the integration with the West, and citizens may lose hope that any further elections can make a serious and lasting difference, Romanowski concluded.
