NATO has accused Russia of a "blatant violation" of Ukraine’s sovereignty, saying it is engaged in direct military operations to support rebels.
NATO Accuses Russia Of Violating Ukraine's Sovereignty
Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that "despite hollow denials", it was now clear that Russia had illegally crossed Ukraine’s border.
He said NATO would respect any Ukrainian decision on security, after its Prime Minister said he was putting the country on course for NATO membership.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed the Ukrainian government for the crisis, comparing its siege of two cities held by separatists, Donetsk and Luhansk, to the siege of Leningrad by the Nazis in world war two.
Nearly 2,600 people have been killed since April, the UN says, when Russia’s annexation of Crimea prompted the rebels to take control of large parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the far east of Ukraine.
