Nov 14 (Reuters) - A Ukrainian lawmaker who was formally notified this week that he was suspected of treason for allegedly cooperating with Russia’s military intelligence said on Wednesday a Kyiv court had ordered him detained for 60 days.
Oleksandr Dubinsky, who is on a U.S. sanctions list, was told on Monday he was also suspected of spreading misinformation about Ukraine’s political leadership, officials said.
“The court supported the prosecution’s request to impose a remand on me in the form of detention for 60 days until January 12, 2024,” Dubinsky said in a video posted on his Telegram channel.
Reuters could not independently verify the video, which showed Dubinsky in a building with a man in a Ukraine security service uniform behind him.
The lawmaker was expelled from the ruling Servant of the People party in 2021 after he was put on a U.S. sanctions list over alleged election meddling.
“It is established that on the instructions of the Russian special services, it organized events to discredit the image of Ukraine in the international arena in order to worsen diplomatic relations with the United States and complicate Ukraine’s accession to the European Union and NATO,” the State Investigative Bureau said in a separate statement published on its website.
