Ukraine crisis: Russia urges Kiev to avoid force in east

NEW YORK: -- Russia has urged the authorities in Kiev not to use force against pro-Russian protesters in eastern Ukraine.

At a special UN Security Council session, Russia's ambassador Vitaliy Churkin called on Kiev to "start a genuine dialogue".

But Ukraine's UN ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev said Moscow had artificially created the crisis in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine's government has promised military action against pro-Russian militants on Monday morning.

According to a Ukrainian presidential decree, pro-Russian separatists should give up their weapons and leave government buildings they have occupied by 06:00 GMT, Reuters reported.

There was this Napoleon, small guy with red pants for the blood not to be seen.

There was this Hitler, small guy with brown pants for the s**t not to be seen.

Now we have this Putin, whatever the color of this small guys pants - rip them off him somebody and we shall see something that he wants to compensate for!

"Little mans' syndrom" is making that primitive individual the monster of our time.

Yeah, let's just "talk" suckers like in Crimea while we put on a propaganda show to grab more of your land. Ukraine is really in a fix. If they get aggressive, which they are well justified to do, the dictator Putin will use that as an excuse to escalate and he's stronger.

That is a but rich coming from the Kremlin. It was the Russians that used force to create the current climate in Ukraine.

Ukraine: Putin, you're a violent thug.

Putin: No I'm not, and if you say that again, I'll kick your f**king head in.
