11:30 GMT:
The European Parliament has called on Ukrainian's interim government to protect the country's Russian-speaking minority's right to use the language.
"All Ukrainian and international, political forces must work together to ensure a united Ukraine, taking into account linguistic, cultural and historical factors," said the parliamentary statement.
