The Russian parliament has overwhelmingly approved a resolution condemning what it calls western Europe's destructive role in Ukraine's political crisis.
The resolution said this was whipping up radical sentiment that could result in negative consequences for all of Europe.
The European Union, the European parliament and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) were fomenting unrest that could lead to "massive disorder, chaos and a split of the country", the Duma said in a resolution approved on Friday in a vote of 415 in favour and eight against.
Separately, Ukraine's parliament voted on Friday to ask outgoing President Leonid Kuchma to withdraw Ukraine's contingent of about 1600 troops from Iraq.
