10 Russian paratroopers to stand trial in Ukraine

The paratroops were interrogated and said that they did not know that their unit had been sent to Ukraine. They thought that they were taking part in a military exercise in Rostov Olast, Russia. The paratroopers did not try to resist and laid down arms.

The Russians will stand trial in Ukraine, TSN reports. They will probably be accused of crossing the border illegally. The Russian soldiers crossed the border ‘accidentally’, Moscow claimed. Vladimir Putin said the same in Minsk yesterday.
