criminal activity claims against Moscow.The Ukrainian district attorney generals workplace stated four servicemen battling in the national
guard had been captured on Oct
6 near the Donetsk region town of Selydove, where Russian forces are advancing

search operation, the district attorney general stated in a statement.There was no immediate reaction to the claims from Moscow and AFP
