ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
A recording of a voice resembling that of Senior US official Victoria Nuland from a reportedly bugged conversation has been posted online, with the woman insulting the EU while discussing the Ukraine crisis.
The female voice refers to the EU using a graphic swear word, in a conversation apparently with the US ambassador to Ukraine.
The EU and US are involved in talks to end months of unrest in Ukraine.
The alleged conversation between Nuland and the US ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, appeared on YouTube on Thursday.
The female speaker mentions the UN and its possible role in trying to find a solution to the Ukraine stand-off.
She says: "So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and have the UN help glue it and you know..." she then uses the swear word about the EU.
The two officials also discuss the three main Ukrainian opposition leaders - Vitaly Klitschko, Arseniy Yatseniuk and Oleh Tyah
