Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has expressed his surprise that the Ukrainian issue was actively discussed at a meeting of the presidents of Russia and Switzerland, Vladimir Putin and Didier Burkhalter, without representatives of Kyiv.

"I was a little surprised that Ukraine's issue was discussed in Moscow without Ukraine, without the United States and without the EU, as it is in this format that the first meeting in Geneva was held, and the Russian Federation refused to fulfill these agreements," Yatseniuk said at the end of the government meeting in Kharkiv on Wednesday.
