Representatives of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and Amnesty International visited two Russian military detained near the town of Schastia in Luhansk region of Ukraine.

The visit to the Central Military Hospital in Kyiv had been agreed upon with the Ukrainian Security Service.

The visit lasted for about ten minutes, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported. But the visitors declined to provide commentaries, and the content of their conversation remains unknown, he said.

The detained Russian citizens - Yevgeny Yerofeyev and Alexander Aleksandrov - are held in tightly guarded separate wards.

Aleksandrov declined to comment when asked whether he was a Russian contract serviceman.

Yerofeyev thanked Ukrainian doctors for quality medical aid. "I'm okay - alive and well," he said.
