KIEV - Ukraine detained Russia's military attaché to Kiev on suspicion of spying and ordered the diplomat to leave the country, reports said on Thursday, as the former Soviet republic wrestles with a pro-Russian armed uprising in the east.
Interfax-Ukraine, citing the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, said the unnamed diplomat was detained on Wednesday while undertaking "intelligence activities".
The ministry could not immediately be reached for comment.
