RF UN ambassador: Russia to urge to stop violence in Ukraine's southeast


Russia will urge to stop violence in Ukraine's southeastern regions at an extraordinary meeting of the United Nations Security Council, which is opening here on Friday, Russian Permanent Representative at the United Nations Vitaly Churkin told journalists.

"We shall urge to stop violence," he said, heading to the meeting.

According to his words, Kiev's authorities have killed the last hope for viability of the Geneva accords of April 17 on the crisis settlement in Ukraine.

"The Kiev regime, encouraged by its Western sponsors, has resorted to a large-scale use of military force, actually killing the last hope for viability of the Geneva accords," he said at an extraordinary meeting of the United Nations Security Council convened at Russia's initiative over the punitive operation staged by the Ukrainian authorities in the southeast Ukraine.

"Those who gave and fulfilled the criminal orders on unleashing bloodshed will bear full responsibility before the Ukrainian people," he stressed, warning against "any interference into the Ukrainian developments fro outside.

The meeting has been initiated by Russia earlier on Friday. United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman is expected to deliver a report on the situation in Ukraine's southeastern regions.
