Tony Abbott invites Ukraines Petro Poroshenko for security talks. Australia’s PM calls Ukraine president following G20 conference to set up meeting and Poroshenko accepts invitation. The prime minister, Tony Abbott, has invited the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, to visit Australia to discuss security. Abbott spoke to Poroshenko on Wednesday night following last weekend’s G20 leaders conference. “The two leaders discussed the deteriorating situation in Ukraine,” a spokesman for Abbott said. “The prime minister noted that Russia’s continued efforts to destabilise Ukraine and violate its sovereignty had been an issue of concern to many G20 leaders, and that these actions remained a matter of deep concern to the Australian government.” G20 leaders rebuked the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, over his support for armed separatists in eastern Ukraine, who have been widely blamed for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in July. theguardian/world/2014/nov/20/tony-abbott-invites-ukraines-petro-poroshenko-for-security-talks
