A Russian military attache has been held in Ukraine on suspicion of spying and ordered to leave the country. The attache - who was not named - had been engaged in activities "not in accordance with his diplomatic status", Ukraine's foreign ministry said. Kiev and the West accuse Russia of stoking a separatist unrest in eastern Ukraine - a claim Moscow denies.
