Veronica Khokhlova has the story for us again! Apparently, Kuchma has posted a notice on his official website saying that he has written a letter to the New York Times.

Leonid Kuchma, president of Ukraine, has sent a letter to the editor of The New York Times, in which he expressed surprise at the use of twisted facts and incorrect commentaries not supported by the quotes from the Head of the state, by the author of the article based on the materials of an interview with Leonid Kuchma.

What is going on, anyone? I would like to speculate that C.J. Chivers took Kuchma out of context (well, he must have), but to hear this is rather interesting indeed. I am not sure as to what Kuchma would be complaining about, but as Veronica also says, I’m very interested to know what the content of this letter is.
