President of Ukraine Poroshenko accuses Russia of invasion.(BBC Live updates)
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says Russia has sent troops to eastern Ukraine.
Mr Poroshenko cancelled a trip to Turkey and called urgent meetings of officials to consider Ukraine's response.
The accusation came as pro-Russian rebels seized control of Novoazovsk in the south-east, threatening to take the port of Mariupol next.
Alexander Zakharchenko, a pro-Russian rebel leader in eastern Ukraine, said 3-4,000 Russian citizens were fighting with the rebels.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe is holding urgent talks on the crisis.
