Balance of terror in Crimea
Diplomatic fever is recorded the last few hours, after the information for a Russian ultimatum against Ukraine, which was denied by the Russians.
Already the U.S. and the EU exert heavy pressure threatening Russia with economic sanctions. Also, a new session of discussions about the developments in Ukraine was scheduled. As stated in a relevant text message of the President of the Security Council, the meeting was called after a request from the Permanent Representative of Ukraine in the United Nations.
The previous meeting was held on Saturday, but no decisions were made. According to diplomatic sources, the scene will be repeated, highlighting the intensely divisive climate between Russia and the other three permanent members of the House (U.S., UK and France), while U.S. has asked from Moscow to withdraw its troops . At the same time , Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, said that the leaders of the European Union are to meet urgently in Brussels on Thursday to discuss the situation in Ukraine.
