Ukraine will raise the issue of Russia's illegally taking control of the airspace over Crimea by Russia and that of the inquiry into the MH17 crash at a meeting of the UN Security Council on September 22, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.

"A meeting of the UN Security Council on September 22 will deal with various aviation security matters. I will have a few key topics. I would like to focus on two of them. One is the MH17," Klimkin told Ukrainian journalists in New York.

He also said a meeting of foreign ministers of five countries involved in the international group on the inquiry into the MH17 crash will take place on Tuesday. They will discuss further the tactics and strategy of action ahead of the publication of the report on the Dutch crash inquiry.

"During the meeting of the Security Council, I plan to focus on this issue and on the topic of how Russia is trying to usurp control of the airspace over temporarily occupied Crimea," the minister said.
