The press service of Ukraine's SBU security service reports that its officers found and detained a Russian military espionage unit in the Ukrainian region of Kherson, outside Crimea. The SBU said the Russians were attempting to gauge the readiness of Ukrainian troops in Kherson -- specifically the 3rd antimissile battalion of the 208th air defense missile brigade.

Some Ukrainian social-media watchers are having fun with the fact that the head of the group, a military intelligence officer born in 1981, had entered the country illegally with a Ukrainian passport under the name of Arbuzov -- the same name as the former deputy prime minister and (oh-so briefly) interim prime minister between Mykola Azarov and Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
