Poroshenko seeks U.N. peacekeeping
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on February 20 called on the U.N. secretary-general to draw up options for a peacekeeping mission in eastern Ukraine, saying such a mission could be a “decisive factor” in ending the conflict there. Mr. Poroshenko told the U.N. General Assembly that Ukraine is ready to discuss a multinational, U.N.-mandated peacekeeping operation with “a clear objective to end the Russian aggression and restore Ukraine’s sovereignty.”
