Ukraine and the Council of Europe have agreed joint actions to block Russia's aggression in Crimea, Ukraine's acting President Oleksandr Turchynov says.

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.
  • For his part, the Secretary General praised the recent reforms and progress towards a democratic Ukraine, expressing the council’s full support for the interim government.
  • Jagland said they had come to Kiev to show their support for the territorial integrity of the crisis-racked country, adding that the Council of Europe is ready to send observers to the Crimea region.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk told a press conference that he believed Russia sought to "undermine the foundations of global security and revise the outcome of World War II.''
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.
