The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has sent a note of protest to Russia over

the involvement of Russian military servicemen in the conflict in

eastern Ukraine.

“An official note of protest was sent to the Russian Foreign

Ministry’s address today, because the detention of these two servicemen,

Yerofeyev and Alexandrov, explicitly proves all those violations of

international law that are being committed on Russia’s part in the

context of its aggression against Ukraine,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry

Special Ambassador Dmytro Kuleba said at a news briefing in Kyiv on

Tuesday.
