At the request of Ukraine, the U.S. and six other countries, the U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting in New York on Monday evening after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops to separatist regions of Ukraine.
The Associated Press reported it is unclear if the meeting is open or closed.
Citing a letter, AP reported that Ukrainian U.N. Ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya said officials were calling for the meeting amid Putin’s actions, which the ambassador said was in violation of the U.N. charter and a 2014 U.N. General Assembly resolution.
Putin earlier Monday ordered Russian forces to “maintain peace” in eastern Ukrainian territories that have been determined to be run by separatists.
