KIEV, Ukraine, April 11 (UPI) -- Former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma says he has been ordered to appear before a prosecutor in the slaying of a journalist in 2000.
Kuchma said in an RIA Novosti report Monday he asked the Ukranian prosecutor general's office for permission to attend festivities in Moscow commemorating the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's spaceflight because a travel ban would prohibit him from being there.
