Ukraine and Russia argue about spies

Summary

3 February 2010

Ukraine and Russia have publicly accused each other of spying.

The incident comes less than a week before the second and decisive round of the Ukrainian presidential election.

Reporter:

James Rodgers

Report

Ukraine says that the five alleged1 Russian spies were caught with a camera concealed2 inside a pen, other espionage3 equipment and $2000 - a reported bribe4 for a Ukrainian contact.

The head of Ukraine's security service says that the five were trying to obtain military secrets. Four of them have been expelled from Ukraine, while the fifth has been detained.

Russia's security service, the FSB, has confirmed the detention5, but denied the Ukrainian version of events. The FSB said its actions were a response to the recruitment of Russians by the Ukrainian security services.

The mutual6 recriminations come at a highly sensitive time. Just two weeks ago, Russia sent an ambassador to Ukraine after a five month absence. And on Sunday, Ukrainians will vote in an election to choose a successor to the outgoing President, Viktor Yushchenko.

Mr Yushchenko's time in office has been marked by strained relations with Moscow, and his departure was being seen as an opportunity for an improvement in ties between the two countries.
