The U.N. Security Council will vote Monday on an Australia-proposed resolution demanding international access to the Ukraine plane crash site and a cease-fire around the area, with diplomats pressuring a reluctant Russia to approve it, AP reported. Diplomats held consultations late Sunday until past midnight to work out differences between Australia and Russia, which has the power to veto the resolution as a permanent council member. The diplomats emerged cautiously optimistic that a resolution would be approved, but Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin would not guarantee it. "It was a worthwhile session, so let's see what the result is going to be tomorrow," Churkin told reporters.
