Russian soldiers in Ukraine

Ukraine's Security Service said on Tuesday the 26th of August that 10 Russian soldiers had been detained in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, amid simmering tensions over the conflict between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels.

The Russian soldiers were captured with documents and weapons on them, the Security Service said. Russia has repeatedly denied claims by Kiev that it has sent troops and weapons over the border into Ukraine, where the Ukrainian military is fighting pro-Russia rebels.
Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency cited a source in the Russian Defense Ministry as saying the soldiers had been patrolling the border and "most likely crossed by accident" at an unmarked point.

The development comes as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, prepare to meet for the first time since June. The two leaders are in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, for trade talks related to the Eurasian Customs Union,
