Ukraine detained a group of Russian paratroopers that had crossed the border into eastern Ukraine , on Tuesday, reports the Washington Post.
The Ukrainian army detained 10 armed Russian military personnel in the Donetsk region said the Ukraine’s military spokesperson.
Sources in Moscow said that the men captured in the Donetsk region were serving Russian soldiers who had crossed the border by mistake, reports The Guardian.
"The soldiers really did participate in a patrol of a section of the Russian-Ukrainian border, crossed it by accident on an unmarked section, and as far as we understand showed no resistance to the armed forces of Ukraine when they were detained," a source in Russia's defence ministry told the RIA Novosti agency.
