Apparently, Ukraine-Russia relations in Moscow view as a crisis - said “i” analyst .- In the neighboring country has ambassadors who see the first people of the state once a year, Russia”s Day of the diplomat.

The arrival of an ambassador to the period between the two rounds of Ukrainian presidential election, according to deputy chairman of the Rada”s Committee on Foreign Affairs Taras Chornovil, may be caused by Moscow”s desire to give the new man in Kiev to build informal relationships with both presidential candidates.
