KRASNOYARSK, Russia (Reuters) - "Anyone but Poroshenko!" cried the crowd in a Russian zoo on Thursday as a brown bear made its way towards a butternut squash bearing a picture of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

Buyan, resident of a zoo on the outskirts of Russia's Krasnoyarask city, was choosing among three squashes, each adorned with a flag depicting the main candidates in Ukraine's presidential election taking place on Sunday.
