Ukraine Says Russia Has Sent In 6,000 Troops

Ukraine's Defence Minister says Russia has sent 6,000 troops into the country.

The country's military are on high alert in the Crimea region, as tensions continued to rise.

US President Barack Obama has warned Moscow that any military intervention in Ukraine would be "deeply destabilising".

But Russia, which has a naval base in Crimea, says any military movements are in line with agreements with Ukraine.

Ukraine's Prime Minister said his country would not be drawn into a military conflict by Russian "provocations", and appealed to Moscow to halt military movements in the region.

Arseny Yatseniuk said: "It is unacceptable when armoured Russian military vehicles are out in the centre of Ukrainian towns."

It came as the pro-Russian Prime Minister of Crimea Sergei Aksenov, appealed to Russia for help in keeping the peace there, and claimed control of all military, police and other security services in the region.

And the Kremlin said it would not ignore a request for help in restoring calm.

But Mr Obama has called on Russia to respect the independence and territory of Ukraine.

"Any violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity would be deeply destabilising," he said.

"The United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine."
