UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council will hold its third emergency meeting on the crisis in Ukraine on Monday, this time at the request of Russia as Moscow continues to tighten its military hold on the eastern part of the former Soviet republic, diplomats said.

A diplomat from Luxembourg, president of the 15-nation council this month, said the meeting would take place at 3:30 p.m. EST (2030 GMT). Other diplomats said the meeting was being convened at the request of Russia.
