KIEV — Ukrainian soldiers shot dead one man and detained another who were trying to steal weapons from a military base in Kharkiv, police said Thursday.
A soldier defending the base was killed and two others were hurt after the two brothers, wearing masks and camouflage, attacked with knives, police said.
The slain soldier was a conscript and due to be discharged from the army in two weeks, a prosecutor said.
One attacker had served in a special forces unit in Russia.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
