The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is working on the convocation of emergency sessions of the UN Security Council, the Council of the European Union, the OSCE Permanent Council as well as consultations in the framework of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin told Interfax-Ukraine on Jan. 25 evening.
He said Kyiv wants to urge the world community to take concrete steps with the purpose of making Russia change its policy in Ukraine.
“Today I am addressing my colleagues from EU countries. My signal to international institutions and governments is simple – the time of declarations is over. An excessively high human price has been paid. The time has come for us to jointly stop the terrorists and make Russia stop supporting them,” Klimkin said.
He noted that at instructions from Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko diplomats were working with all key international floors so that they would duly react to the developments in Mariupol. “And we need not only declarations but also concrete effective steps,” he stressed.
