Law enforcers of Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of trespassing
At night on June 13, a Ukrainian infantry combat vehicle (ICV) broke the Russia's state border in the Rostov Region, said Vasily Malaev, the head of the press service of the Frontier Department of the Russia's FSB for the Rostov Region.
According to his story, the ICV crossed the border and stopped in the territory of Russia in the vicinity of the city of Millerovo. The crew left the vehicle and got back to Ukraine, but then returned and tried to take the ICV back. The attempt was stopped by border guards; who forced the border trespassers to retreat, the RIA "Novosti" reports.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent a note of protest to the Ukrainian party in the context of breaking the Russian border by two ICVs at night on June 13.
In his turn, Vladislav Seleznyov, the head of the press centre of the antiterrorist operation in Ukraine, said that a Russian military helicopter had broken the Ukrainian border.
"A Mi-35 fire-support helicopter of the Russian Armed Forces broke the Ukrainian border in the vicinity of Kuibyshevo," the "Ukrainian Pravda" quotes Seleznyov as saying.
