Yatseniuk asks Western partners to call urgent UN Security Council meeting due to Russia's actions

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has asked Ukraine's Western partners to convene an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council due to the actions of the Russian Federation in eastern Ukraine.

"I consider it necessary for our Western partners to convene an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council. Russia has significantly increased its military presence in Ukraine," he said at a ceremony to sign a memorandum of cooperation between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Ukrainian World Congress.

Yatseniuk said that respective emergency meetings should also be held at the OSCE and the EU at the level of the foreign ministers of the EU member states.
