Victor Yushchenko has sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin to offer sympathy over yesterday’s explosion at the Ulyanovskaya mine and today’s fire in an old people’s home in southern Russia.
“People's death is always a great loss for any country and a formidable tragedy for their relatives. On behalf of the Ukrainian nation, I would like to present my heartfelt condolences to you, families of the victims and the Russian nation,” he said.
