Ukraine: Poroshenko accuses Russia of bringing troops to Ukraine, offers no proof SOT. Petro Poroshenko, Ukrainian president (in Ukrianian): Due to the sharp aggravation of the situation in the south of Donetsk region and in its central part near Amvrosievka and Starobeshevo, as Russian troops were actually brought into Ukraine, I have made a decision to cancel my working visit to the Republic of Turkey although seven important bilateral international meetings had been planned to be held there. The president must stay in Kiev today. I will call an emergency meeting of the nations Security Council today to elaborate a plan for further action as the situation has changed. We are going to call for a meeting of the UN Security Council. The world must provide an assessment of the sharp aggravation of the situation in Ukraine. I addressed our partners in the European Union with a request to call an emergency meeting of the Council of the European Union, where we must immediately discuss the situation in Ukraine.
