REPRESENTATIVES from the Ukraine are visiting the North-East as part of an exchange programme. The delegation, from Kharkiv, led by Mayor Leonid Soroka, visits Newcastle Civic Centre today.
Soroka means magpie in Russian, and on Saturday he and his colleagues were guests at St James' Park as Newcastle United beat Coventry City in the FA Cup.
