Russia accuses Ukraine of attempted border breach
Russia’s military says it has prevented a “diversionary reconnaissance” group from breaching the border from Ukraine. At least five people were killed in the incident, the Russian defence ministry said on Monday, which allegedly occurred near the village of Mityakinskaya in Russia’s southwestern Rostov region at about 03:00 GMT. Kyiv dismissed the allegation as “fake news”. The exchange came hours after the Kremlin dashed hopes that top-level diplomacy aimed at easing the Ukraine crisis would be imminent, a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Joe Biden had appeared to agree – in principle – to talks. – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish/ – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera/ – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ #Russia #Ukraine
