President Viktor Yushchenko dismissed Mykola Biloblotsky from the post of extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of Ukraine in the Russian Federation.
This is stated in the presidential decree posted on his website.
Biloblotsky was appointed ambassador to Russia by a decree of President Leonid Kuchma in December 1999. Before that, from 25.11.1998 to 22.11.1999, he was head of the presidential administration.
As is known, on the eve of the presidential elections in Ukraine, with the assistance of the Russian embassy, the Central Election Commission attempted to open additional polling stations in Russia.
The CEC created 41 additional polling stations in Russia and refused to create another 379 due to gross violations in the processing of election documents.
