KIEV, May 19 – The Ukrainian government remains committed to the idea of decentralization of power and is ready to ensure a special status for Russian and languages of national minorities, acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said.

"Our position is unchanged: we believe that the power needs to be decentralized... The central authorities should have a government representative office, which will conduct the so-called general supervision over the observance of laws in the relevant territory," he said during the second all-Ukrainian roundtable of national unity in Kharkiv on Saturday.
