Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych today returned to work after a four-day sick leave for "acute respiratory infection", his press service told AFP.
"Yes, the president has come back to work," a spokesman said without giving further details on the leader's agenda for today.
Yanukovych returned to his office amid an unprecedented political crisis precipitated by protests against his regime that have lasted more than two months.
