MOSCOW, August 19 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Foreign Ministry said Saturday it had no information confirming rumors about the visit of the Ukrainian prime minister to Moscow.

The Ukrainian media earlier said that Viktor Yanukovych had arrived in the Russian capital on Friday night and, therefore, would not address the participants of the World Forum of Ukrainians in Kiev.

"We could not confirm this information," a Russian Foreign Ministry's official said.

Ukrainian PM's press-secretary Denis Ivanesko did not either confirm or deny the rumors.

"We do not reveal prime minister's plans for weekends," he said.
