3:06 am
soldiers who were never there had annexed crimea shortly after the u.s. envoy spoke her russian counterpart the tali churkin fired back you may use no one is hiding the fact that they are russian volunteers is going to rain we would like to see a similar transparency but you told by other countries maybe our american colleagues can tell us what doesn't is there guys are doing in israel yes ukraine security council are supposed to agree or how many so-called mercenaries from their so-called military enterprises that would lead you to new york and sounds of kilometers away when they're laying on that but it's pretty word of the ukrainian security forces give the code a huge american weapons during the emergency security council meeting ambassador churkin presented statement that called for an unconditional cease fire in ukraine but some members including the way it said they wanted to read through the tax before a vote would be hot in the meantime u.s. president barack obama is stressing that he has no plans to use military action to solve the problem speaking to reporters he said that the u.s.

3:10 am
called russia's delivery of humanitarian aid to eastern ukraine an invasion this week it accused moscow of quote unquote a full scale invasion the western media that is generally not putting much distinction between rebels and washer quickly picked up that side of the story that is despite the fact that this thursday the ois sea which is now monitoring the russian border with ukraine said they saw no evidence of russian troops and tanks crossing the border the u.n. said it could not independently verify the reports of the russian invasion but a u.n. security council meeting was called upon where its western members push to hold russia responsible russia stop this conflict at least two thousand two hundred twenty people including twenty three children have died in the conflict in eastern ukraine. but we have never heard the u.s. ambassador to the un call on kiev to stop bombing its own people in washington i'm going to check out our team.
