BBC: Ukraine seeks meeting with Russia within 48 hours to discuss build-up
Ukraine has called for a meeting with Russia and other members of a key European security group over the escalating tensions on its border.

He said the next step was requesting a meeting within the next 48 hours for transparency about Russia's plans.
Russia has denied any plans to invade Ukraine despite the build-up of some 100,000 soldiers on Ukraine's borders.
