The EU and US urged Russia to stop arming Ukraine rebels after Ukraine said Russian tanks and artillery crossed the border on the 12 June 2014. Nato released images which it said backed up Ukrainian claims that Russian tanks crossed into Ukraine. News sources reported on the 14 June 2014 that separatists in the eastern part of Ukraine had shot down a Ukrainian military plane killing at least 49 people on board. Ukraine's President Poroshenko vowed to retaliate after the incident. Russia reacted angrily to a violent protest outside its embassy in Ukraine on the 14 June 2014, which saw windows smashed, the Russian flag torn down and cars overturned. The Guardian reported on the 17 June 2014 that Russia was circulating a new UN resolution on Ukraine in a fresh effort to get the deeply divided security council to address the worsening humanitarian situation and escalating conflict in the east between the government and separatist fighters. |
