Ukraine's acting President and Parliament Speaker Oleksandr Turchynov
has met with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjorn
Jagland and Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz to discuss and
exchange views on the latest developments in Ukraine.
Joint actions with the Council of Europe have been agreed and an active dialogue about cooperation with the IMF is taking place, a statement from Turchynov said.
In the statement Turchynov added that Russia's aggression in Crimea is blocking Ukraine from starting the process of re-establishing its stability and reminded Russia that the international community would not leave Ukraine alone as under the Budapest Memorandum the US and Britain are guarantor states for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.
“There is an attempt to misinform Russian citizens and citizens of other countries on the issues related to the legitimacy of the Ukrainian authorities, events in Crimea and the false referendum that is being organized, or better to say falsified,” Turchynov told a press briefing after the meeting.
Yatseniuk stressed that it is not up to the Russian tanks or military vehicles but to the Ukrainian parliament, Verkhovna Rada, and the people of Crimea to determine the fate of the region.
The Romanian Foreign Minister, Titus Corlatean, has also held a series of talks in Kiev with Ukraine's interim President Oleksandr Turchynov, Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk and Foreign Minister Andrey Deshitsa.
