Ukrainian ambassador returns to Armenia – Lenta.ru

Ukrainian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Kukhta, who was recalled about two months ago, has returned to Yerevan, Lenta.ru reported citing RFE/RL Ukrainian Service.

Ukraine recalled its ambassador in late March following Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s positive statements about the Crimea referendum.

Besides, Ukraine sent a note to Armenia demanding an explanation. At approximately the same time, Kiev also recalled its ambassador to Belarus. The Ukrainian ambassador to Belarus returned in mid April.

The Crimea referendum was held in March 2014. Over 90% of the voters in Crimea voted for unification with Russia. The Ukrainian authorities refused to recognize the referendum results.
