Ukraine court orders arrest of two suspected Russian soldiers:
A Kyiv court has ordered two suspected Russian soldiers who were captured in eastern Ukraine to be placed in pretrial detention until July 19.
The ruling on May 22 comes after Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Aleksandr Aleksandrov were charged with involvement in "terrorist activity."
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was taking the "necessary measures" to free the two men.
He also said Russia's attempts to contact the prisoners through diplomatic means have failed so far.
In video published on the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta’s website on May 22, Yerofeyev and Aleksandrov repeated assertions that they were on active duty with the Russian military in eastern Ukraine when they were captured on May 16.
Moscow says the two men were no longer employed by the state when they were captured.
Russia has constantly denied accusations by Kyiv and the West that it is providing weapons, training, and personnel to rebels in eastern Ukraine who are involved in a conflict that has killed more than 6,100 people since April 2014. (AFP, Interfax, AP)
