DONETSK Ukraine (Reuters) - Two Ukrainian soldiers have offered new evidence of direct Russian military involvement in eastern Ukraine, saying they were captured by Russian troops in a battle that became a turning point in the conflict.

Their testimony, given after being freed from a month's captivity, casts further doubt on Moscow's denials of Western accusations that it helped pro-Russian rebels stave off defeat last month by sending in soldiers and weapons from Russia.
