Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Yekaterinburg representation suggested that Ukraine’s Consulate-General appeal to Ural Real Estate Chamber for assistance in finding quarters in the Urals’ capital, the Chamber’s press service reports.

Now the Ukrainian consulate for Siberia and the Urals is relocating from Tyumen to Yekaterinburg. The move is hindered by the need to find offices and long-term living quarters for the Consulate’s staff.

‘As for our support in finding long-term rental options, we have the honor to report that the representation is not in the position to process real estate transactions, which is why we think it expedient for you to use the services of a professional union of skilled experts in charge of property issues — the Ural Real Estate Chamber,’ says the letter that Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Yekaterinburg representation sent to Ukraine’s Consulate-General in Tyumen.
