KIEV, Feb 23 (Reuters) – Russia said on Sunday it had

recalled to Moscow its ambassador in Ukraine for consultations

on the “deteriorating situation” in Kiev, a day after the ouster

of President Viktor Yanukovich.

“Due to the deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the need

for a comprehensive analysis of the situation, the decision was

made to recall the Russian ambassador to Ukraine for

consultations in Moscow,” the ministry said in a statement.
