The UN Monday condemned the killing of a Russian journalist in east Ukraine, urging a "definitive cessation of violence" through a political process.
"All such killings are condemned and that the United Nations had made clear the need to allow all journalists to go about their work without hindrance," Xinhua quoted UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric as saying at a daily news briefing.
