UN chief "alarmed" at reports of wider fighting in Ukraine

UNITED NATIONS - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is alarmed by reports that fighting in Ukraine has spread southward, which if confirmed would mark a "dangerous escalation" of the crisis, Ban's spokesman said on Thursday.

 

"The international community cannot allow the situation to escalate further nor can a continuation be allowed of the violence and destruction that the conflict has wrought in eastern Ukraine," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
