We derive a unitarity relationship between the spin structure function $g_{LT}(x,Q^{2})=g_{1}(x,Q^{2})+g_{2}(x,Q^{2})$, the LT interference diffractive structure function and the spin-flip coupling of the pomeron to nucleons. Our diffractive mechanism gives rise to a dramatic small-$x$ rise $g_{LT}(x,Q^{2}) \sim g^{2}(x,\bar{Q}^{2}) \sim (1/x)^{2(1+\delta_{g})}$, where $\delta_{g}$ is an exponent of small-$x$ rise of the unpolarized gluon density in the proton $g(x,\bar{Q}^{2})$ at a moderate hard scale $\bar{Q}^{2}$ for light flavour contribution and large hard scale $\bar{Q}^{2} \sim m_{f}^{2}$ for heavy flavour contribution. It invalidates the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule. The found small-$x$ rise of diffraction driven $g_{LT}(x,Q^{2})$ is steeper than given by the Wandzura-Wilczek relation under conventional assumptions on small-$x$ behaviour of $g_{1}(x,Q^{2})$.
