MOSCOW, October 4./TASS/. Ukrainian security services
are planning provocations against Russian officers of the Joint Center for
Control and Coordination (JCCC) of the ceasefire in the southeast of Ukraine,
the Russian Defense Ministry’s department for information and mass
communications said on Tuesday.
"The Defense Ministry has received through several
reliable channels information about a provocation prepared by Ukrainian
security services against Russian officers of the JCCC," the report said.
According to the ministry, the Ukrainian Security
Service intends to detain Russian military on charges of alleged ‘espionage’.
It says this plan will be carried out during the upcoming rotation of the
Russian contingent in the JCCC.
"In order to prevent disruption of further activity
of the JCCC, we urge the Ukrainian leadership to take this information with all
responsibility and to prevent provocations against Russian military by

mutual agreement between the Russian and Ukrainian leadership only to assist
representatives of the Special Monitoring Mission of the European security
agency in control over cessation of hostilities.
