Ukraine's Tymoshenko 'will not concede'-newspaper

MOSCOW Feb 9 (Reuters) - Yulia Tymoshenko, the loser of Sunday's Ukrainian election, says she will never accept the legitimacy of winner Viktor Yanukovich as the country's president, a Ukrainian newspaper quoting her as saying on Tuesday.

"I will never recognise the legitimacy of of Yanukovich's victory with such elections," the Ukrainska Pravda daily cited Tymoshenko as telling a meeting of her party on Monday evening.

Tymoshenko had instructed her lawyers to prepare to contest the electoral results in court, the newspaper's website reported.

Tymoshenko was due to hold a news conference later on Tuesday. (Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge in Moscow, writing by Conor Sweeney; Editing by Michael Stott)
