Asian shares wobble in early trade, euro sinks

Asian shares balked at the starting gate on Monday, skittish in the face of a deepening Ukraine crisis, while the euro touched a fresh one-year low ahead of this week's European Central Bank meeting. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko warned a "full-scale war" was imminent if Russian troops continued to advance in support of pro-Moscow rebels as U.S. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down about 0.2 percent in early trading, pulling away from Thursday's high of 515.13, its highest since early 2008. Japan's Nikkei stock average (.N225) added about 0.3 percent, after shedding 1.3 percent in August.
