MOSCOW, May 30 (Reuters) - Russia will use a United Nations Security Council session to demand an end to Georgian spy flights over Georgia's breakaway region of Abkhazia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.

"The Georgian side continues to say that they (unmanned spy planes) flew, are flying and will continue to fly. This is the most flagrant violation of the decision of the U.N. Security Council ... and this is precisely the question we will put before the Security Council," Interfax news agency quoted Lavrov as telling reporters.
