Zurabov was also appointed as the president's special envoy on trade and economic ties with Kiev.

In last August, Medvedev sent a letter to his Ukrainian counterpart Viktor Yushchenko saying that Russia will postpone sending of a new ambassador to the ex-Soviet republic due to Kiev's anti-Russia course.
