Russian Special Forces Seized in Ukraine

Two Russian special forces troops fighting with the rebels were captured by Ukraine's military, according to Ukraine. Russia denies that they sent troops to aid the rebels in Eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian military police posted a video of the questioning of one of the detained Russian soldiers where he identifies himself as a member of the Russian special forces. The video has not been verified, and Russia has not commented on it. Ukraine and the West claim that Russia has deployed thousands of regular soldiers into Ukraine. The two sides have agreed to a cease-fire since February yet has seen frequent violations.
