earlier, we saw the russian ambassador to the united an emergency meeting of the united nations. that turned into a trading of blame and insults between the u.s. and russia. the u.s. representative to the united nations saying that insecurity in ukraine has been written and choreographed by russia. this is what she said. talks we know who is behind this. the only area -- entity in the area capable of these professional military actions is russia. >> the russian representative to the united nations has said that kiev who areis in backed by the united states and the european union needs to withdraw. if there is any action after now,headline, which is that is going to be put a drip talks which are supposed to take place in geneva later this week between the russians and the ukraine and the united states. all of that is up in the air. >> foreign ministers meet today. will they impose sanctions? thene of the things that european union and the foreign ministers would need to do is to establish a relationship between russia and the pro-russian separatists in the eastern ukraine. the fin
