As Russia tensions boil, ND farmer remains jailed in Ukraine

By Pat Sweeney Feb 2, 2022 | 2:55 PM

A farmer from Ashley (ND) is jailed in Ukraine on charges he attempted to assassinate a former business partner who is now a government minister.

The family of Kurt Groszhans says the charges are bogus and designed to stifle his claims of corruption.

His former partner, Roman Leshchenko, has denied that he embezzled money from Groszhans’ company.

Groszhans’ relatives and supporters are also concerned that he risks being left behind as the U.S. braces for a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The State Department says it’s closely following the case and takes seriously its responsibility to help detained Americans.
