US warns against Russian military intervention in Ukraine
The United States has warned Russia that it would be a "grave mistake" to embark on military intervention in Ukraine.
Ukraine will seek 'European integration' once again
Ukraine will seek closer integration with Europe once again, the acting president has said, after Viktor Yanukovych was ousted by MPs on Saturday following days of violence.
Yanukovych's decision to turn his back on a deal with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Russia sparked the protests that eventually led to his departure.
Oleksandr Turchynov said a priority of the regime would be to "return to the path of European integration" in a televised address to the nation after his appointment by MPs.
Mr Turchynov also said Ukraine's new leadership was ready for dialogue with Russia to put their relations on a "new, equal and good-neighbourly footing" which recognises the country's "European choice."
