KIEV (Reuters) - As Ukrainians prepare for Sunday's presidential election, the message from Kiev's main square is clear - the new leader will be closely watched and the people could rise up again if they feel cheated.

Three months after Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovich fled the capital in the face of a street uprising, Independence Square, or the "Maidan", still looks like a war zone, bedecked with barbed wire and barricades, covered with tents and patrolled by khaki-clad "defenders" in no hurry to pack up.
