Secretary-General's press encounter on Ukraine

As you know, I have cut short an overseas visit – including a very important summit of African leaders – to rush back to UN headquarters.    
Our world is facing the biggest global peace and security crisis in recent years – certainly in my tenure as Secretary-General.  
We face a moment that I sincerely hoped would not come.   
I am deeply troubled by the latest developments regarding Ukraine — including reports of increased ceasefire violations across the contact line and the real risk of further escalation on the ground.
