Today, the Holosiivskyi District Court of Kyiv extended the detention of Russian GRU operatives Erofeyev and Alexandrov, who were detained in May near the city of Shchastya, until 21 November this year.

The case of the Russian special forces soldiers has been referred to the Kyiv Court of Appeal to determine jurisdiction, as the detainees' lawyers demanded they be tried in the Luhansk region.

A consul was present at the hearing, claiming that both detainees had been discharged from the GRU long before their departure to Ukraine. He also described the case as politically motivated.
