Russia, Ukraine Exchange Criminal Suits
Ukrainian state prosecutors said on Tuesday they had opened a criminal investigation against a Russian law enforcement agency, accusing it of supporting separatists in the east of the country, World Bulletin news website reported.The move appeared to be a tit-for-tat response to a criminal case launched on Monday by Russia against "unidentified representatives of Ukraine's senior political and military leadership", the National Guard and nationalist organizations, in which it accused them of committing "genocide". The two legal investigations will further increase tensions between the two neighbors and put pressure on a ceasefire agreed on Sept. 5 between Kiev's forces and pro-Russian separatists that has been violated by daily skirmishes and artillery shelling.
