"You're well aware what's on the ground," Yatseniuk told the Security Council, in what appeared to be unrehearsed remarks. "My country has faced a military aggression of a neighboring country, which is a P-5 member. This aggression has no reason and no grounds. This is absolutely and entirely unacceptable in the 21st century to resolve any kind of conflict with tanks, artillery and boots on the ground," he said.
