Ukraine will not declare state of emergency -presidential aide

A senior aide to President Viktor Yanukovich said on Tuesday there would be no declaration of a state of emergency to end the unrest in Ukraine that has brought violent confrontation between protesters and police in the capital.
   
Asked by a journalist if the presidency was considering such a step, Andriy Klyuev, secretary of the National Council of Security and Defence, said: "There will be no declaration of a state of emergency."

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged European governments not to interfere in events in Ukraine, where Moscow fears a political crisis may be spinning out of control.       

"We would prefer that some of our European colleagues refrained from acting unceremoniously over the Ukrainian crisis, when, without any kind of invitation, members of certain European governments rush to the Maidan (central square), take part in anti-government demonstrations in a country, with which they have diplomatic relations," he told a news conference. "It is just distasteful."
