AMMAN — Jordan has expressed concern over the escalating violence in eastern Ukraine, calling for dialogue to end the ongoing crisis.

The Kingdom’s permanent representative to the UN, HH Prince Zeid, said during the late Sunday Security Council emergency meeting to discuss the crisis in Ukraine that “Ukraine has the right to defend its citizens and to safeguard its territorial unity”, calling on Ukrainian authorities to maintain dialogue with the separatists and other concerned parties to end the escalating violence, while continuing to respect human rights protocols.

Prince Zeid also said the Security Council has to deliver a clear message of support to the efforts exerted by Ukrainian authorities to end armed resistance and the breaking of law in its territories.

The prince also said Jordan rejected any form of military threat or interference in Ukraine’s internal affairs, which would be in violation of the principles of the UN Charter.
