Overview of Security Council Letters
This was Ukraine's official official statement, particularly regarding non-interference in internal Ukrainian affairs, in response to the 24 February Russian statement on the political situation in Ukraine. (On 22 February, after signing a deal with the opposition to end the political crisis the president fled Kiev to an undisclosed location. The parliament voted to remove the president and on 23 February it granted expanded powers to its interim speaker to carry out the duties of the president of Ukraine. On 26 February Russia carried out a large-scale military exercise in regions bordering Ukraine.)
