MOSCOW (Reuters) - A rejection by Dutch voters of a treaty on closer ties between the European Union and Ukraine in an advisory referendum shows Europe's attitude to Ukraine's political system, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on his Twitter account.

Exit polls indicated roughly 64 percent of Dutch voters voted "No" and 36 percent said "Yes" in Wednesday's vote. Although turnout was too close to call, early tallies indicated it was just ahead of a turnout minimum of 30 percent required for the vote to be valid.
