Russia has accused Kiev and Western nations of distorting a Ukraine peace agreement hours before it was to take effect and as fighting raged in the east of the country.
In a statement the Russian foreign ministry said Western countries, and in particular the United States, have essentially expressed solidarity with the opinion of radical nationalists and have begun to distort the contents of the Minsk agreements.
Meanwhile, seven Ukrainian service personnel have been killed and 23 wounded in fighting against separatists in eastern Ukraine in the past 24 hours, a Kiev military spokesman has said, despite a peace deal worked out in Belarus.
It comes as the United Nations Security Council is expected to meet tomorrow for an emergency session to shore up the Minsk ceasefire deal, diplomats said.
The 15-member council is set to approve a Russian-drafted resolution calling on all parties to implement the deal which provides for a ceasefire beginning tomorrow.
The agreement reached between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the leaders of Ukraine, France and Germany appeared to be in jeopardy amid fierce fighting yesterday that left 28 dead.
A draft of the resolution obtained by AFP welcomes the agreement reached in Minsk on Thursday and "calls on all parties to fully implement" the measures including the ceasefire.
The ceasefire, due to take effect from midnight Sunday (11pm Irish time) will be the first test of the commitment by Kiev and pro-Russian separatists to the peace plan.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called on all sides to follow through on their commitments to end the 10-month war.
At least 5,300 people have died and one million have been driven from their homes in the fighting between pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine and Kiev's forces.
