The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Russian Federation was the ambassador of Ukraine to Russia. In March 2014 Ukraine recalled its ambassador and was represented by its temporary chargé d'affaires. In June 2014 Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko stated that bilateral relations with Russia cannot be normalized unless Russia undoes its unilateral annexation of Crimea and returns its control of Crimea to Ukraine.
