United Kingdom UN Security Council to hold emergency meeting on Ukraine
Published on 18/07/2014
The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting Friday to discuss the crash of a Malaysian airliner in eastern Ukraine.
The urgent talks will begin at 10:00 am (1400 GMT), said the Rwandan chair of the 15-member council.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is calling for a “full, transparent and international investigation” of the crash of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
US officials said the plane carrying nearly 300 people from Amsterdam en route to Kuala Lumpur was shot down by a surface-to-air missile but it was unclear who fired the weapon.
Britain, which requested the urgent talks at the Security Council, is calling for a UN-led investigation.
