Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) -- Pro-Moscow rebel forces in eastern Ukraine, backed
by Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers, battled government forces
on two fronts Thursday, a Ukrainian military official said.
The fighting was taking place southeast of Donetsk, and along the nation's
southern coast in the town of Novoazovsk, about 12 miles (20 km) from the
Russian border, according to Mykhailo Lysenko, the deputy commander of the
Ukrainian Donbas battalion.
"This is a full-scale invasion," Lysenko said, referring to the fighting in the south.
In a Cabinet meeting Thursday, Ukraine's Prime Minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk,
called for an immediate U.N. Security Council meeting.
"Russia has very much increased its military presence in Ukraine," he said.
JUST A FEW RUSSIAN AGGRESSIONS:1. In 1953 the Red Army was deployed on the streets of East Berlin to quell an uprising by German citizens.
2. In 1956 the Red Army launched an all out invasion of Hungary after an uprising in Budapest by Hungarian nationalists. Tens of thousands of Hungarians were murdered in the streets.
3. In 1968 Soviet forces invaded Czechoslovakia after the communist government in Prague decided to allow free an fair elections. Fearful of a democratic government emerging in Eastern Europe the Kremlin ordered the movement known as "Prague Spring" to be crushed.
4. In 1978 the Red Army invaded Afghanistan to prop up a communist government that was in danger of collapsing. The effort led to a brutal ten year guerrilla war which the Soviets eventually lost.
5. In 1990 Russian troops were deployed throughout the Baltic states to curb nationalist stirrings in Latvia Lithuania and Estonia. Scores were killed.
6. In 2008 Russian troops invade South Ossetia, a province of Georgia in order to "protect" ethnic Russians.
