Former Ukrainian prime minister Viktor Yanukovych blamed Kiev on Wednesday for the worsening of Russian-Ukrainian ties. "Never before have we had such unpleasant relations with the Russia as at present," the leader of Ukraine's opposition and pro-Russian Party of Regions told readers of a Kiev-based newspaper in a phone-in. He also said that Ukraine's "negligent leaders are pursuing a badly thought-out policy regarding our neighbors."
