The Russian Federal Security Service, the FSB, was quick to respond, saying the incident was provoked by Ukraine"s efforts to recruit spies among Russian citizens.

The FSB said the incident was connected to the arrest of Ukrainian national Ruslan Pilipenko, "known to the FSB as an employee of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry"s Main Intelligence Directorate."

The security service said Pilipenko was detained at a Russian military facility on October 29, 2009 in Tiraspol, the capital of the Moldovan breakaway republic of Transdnestr, while "performing activities to the detriment of the security interests of the Russian Armed Forces."

He was later released and deported.

MOSCOW, November 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russia"s top health official urged the government Tuesday to introduce a state monopoly on alcohol amid the rising death toll from bootleg vodka in the country. Russia has recently been swept by large-scale outbreaks of alcohol poisoning in several regions as bootleg vodka and poisonous substitutes have been sold at low prices in the country. Hundreds of Russians have died and several thousand others have been hospitalized in Russia with toxic hepatitis caused by substandard vodka in recent weeks. Gennady Onishchenko said alcohol consumption has increased considerably in the country in the last 10 years. "In the 1990s, per capita consumption of alcohol stood at 7.6 liters. In 2005, the figure was already 9.7 liters," Onishchenko said. Onishchenko said his department and the Interior Ministry were taking active measures to expose bootleg vodka and alcohol substitutes. Some critics have blamed a new alcohol regulation policy, introduced in July, for causing widespread confusion and an attendant shortage of alcohol, leading many to resort to substandard bootleg liquor.
