Moscow says 10 Russian paratroopers found near Donetsk were not meant to be there.
A group of 10 Russian paratroopers captured in east Ukraine crossed into the country "by accident," according to a Russian military source quoted by RIA Novosti.
The incident comes as the two countries' presidents attend a key meeting at a summit in Minsk, Belarus.

These military servicemen were in fact involved in patrolling the Russian-Ukrainian border area and most likely crossed [the border] by accident at an unequipped and unmarked zone, and as far as I know they didn't resist the armed forces of Ukraine [during their detention].
Ukraine's security service said its military had captured the servicemen near Dzerkalne, 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of Donetsk and 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Russian border, according to the BBC.
