KIEV, May 25 (RIA Novosti) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko left on Monday for Libya on a two-day official visit, Ukrainian media reported.

Several documents are expected to be signed, in particular on oil supplies and oil refining.

The premier is accompanied by Fuel and Energy Minister Yuriy Prodan, Industrial Policy Minister Volodymyr Novytskiy, and Agriculture Minister Yuriy Melnik.
