KIEV, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Poroshenko said on Thursday Russian forces had invaded Ukraine and he called an urgent meeting of the Ukraine's security and defence council to decide the next steps to take in the crisis.
"I made the decision to cancel a working visit to the Republic of Turkey in connection with the rapidly deteriorating situation in Donetsk region, in particular in Amvrosiyivka and Starobesheve, as an invasion of Russian forces has taken place," he said in a statement on the presidential website.
