Ukraine is waiting for Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko to either contest results from Sunday's presidential election, or accept defeat and quit.
Pro-Moscow opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych appears to have narrowly won the poll, which monitors have praised.
But she has stayed tight-lipped amid calls by international observers for a peaceful transition of power.
Mrs Tymoshenko is expected to hold a news conference later, after twice postponing addressing media on Monday.
"For everyone in Ukraine, this election was a victory," the observers, led by the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, said in a statement.
