Russia's Medvedev to visit Ukraine in May
KIEV, March 17 |
KIEV, March 17 (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will visit Kiev on May 17-18, the office of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich said on Wednesday.
A press service statement said the date was agreed in a telephone conversation between Yanukovich and Medvedev.
It will be the first visit by the Kremlin leader to the ex-Soviet republic since Yanukovich, who is viewed as more Moscow-leaning in policies than his predecessor Viktor Yushchenko, was elected in February.
