Russia Ukraine and Yanukovych Ordered Military Action in Crimea

Yanukovych Ordered Military Action In Crimea: The disclosure of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych's support for Russian military intervention was made at the third emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council since Friday. It came amid fears that the Kremlin might carry out more land grabs in pro-Russian eastern Ukraine, according to Huffington Post. "With the exception of one member of the Security Council, the Russian Federation, we have heard overwhelming support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and for peaceful dialogue,'' U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said and Ukraine's fugitive president requested Russian soldiers in the strategic Crimea region "to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order,'' Russia's U.N. ambassador said Monday, contradicting the president's own comments last week, while Ukraine's ambassador said 16,000 troops are now deployed there. Russia faced demands from almost all council members to pull its troops out of Crimea and got no support for its military action from close ally China. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
