KIEV (Sputnik) — The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's chief intelligence office denied on Monday that one of its citizens detained in Russia on suspicion of espionage is one of its employees.
"We do not confirm this information. We believe this is another fake [story]," the department's press office told RIA Novosti.
The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said it had detained Roman Sushchenko, who it said is a member of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's chief intelligence office.
