Acting Ukrainian President Alexandr Turchynov Friday relieved four ambassadors from their duties, the presidential website said.
The interim president decided to sack Alexander Kupchyshyn, the ambassador to France, Monaco and UNESCO; Volodymyr Khandogiy, the envoy to Great Britain; Valery Vasiliev, the ambassador to Nigeria and Valery Kirdoda, the ambassador to Algeria and Mali, Xinhua reported.
All the dismissed ambassadors had been appointed by ousted president Viktor Yanukovych, who left the country in late February following violent anti-government protests that left over 100 people dead.
