The Russian Foreign Ministry has sent a note of protest to Ukraine over the violation by Ukrainian soldiers of the joint border with Russia in the Kuibyshevsky district of its Rostov region, the ministry said in a statement posted on its website on Friday, Interfax agency reports.
"We see such actions by the Ukrainian side as a gross violation of the fundamental provisions of the international law, as an unlawful act that will not facilitate a peaceful resolution of the armed conflict in South-East Ukraine," the ministry said in the statement.
