EU's Ashton urges Russia not to dispatch troops to Ukraine

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said a decision by the Russian parliament to authorise the use of Russian forces in neighbouring Ukraine was an unwarranted escalation of tensions.

 

"I therefore call upon the Russian Federation not to dispatch such troops but to promote its views through peaceful means," Ashton said in a written statement on Saturday. (Reuters)
