Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin criticized the speech from the rostrum of the UN Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who said on Wednesday at the political discussion at the very end of the day.

" It is strange that the Prime Minister of Ukraine instead of having to deal with numerous problems of their country, which is approaching economic collapse, arrived in new York to the late evening to speak in front of half-empty hall of the General Assembly, " said Churkin of the Russian correspondents.

" It is strange that his speech ended with a melodramatic appeal to the President of Russia ", - emphasized Churkin.

according to him, " Yatsenyuk May have forgotten, what is the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who throughout the last time engaged in an intensive Dialogue with President Putin." The dialogue that has made possible the recent Minsk consensus, which, as we hope, pave the way for the settlement of the protracted fall in Ukraine ", - noticed Churkin.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk, making criticism of the policy of Russia in Ukraine, concluded " a direct appeal to the Russian President." Mr. Putin, You have the opportunity to win the battle against the troops, but You will never defeat the people are one of the Ukrainian nation, " - said Yatsenyuk.
