Two sisters in North Dakota spent Thanksgiving without their beloved brother this year — but not because of work obligations, health problems, or any other reasons that one might expect.
Rather, Kurt Groszhans, a self-described “humble American investor” and farmer from Ashley, North Dakota, is currently detained in Ukraine under suspicion that he attempted to assassinate the country’s minister of agriculture.
But his family insists he is the victim of embezzlement and is now being railroaded to cover up the foreign government official’s crimes. Now they are pleading for help from the American government to ensure that their brother is treated respectfully and granted a fair trial. What are the details?
According to local news outlet, Inforum , Groszhans and a Ukrainian woman named Olena Bohach were arrested and placed in pretrial detention this week for allegedly seeking to arrange the assassination of Roman Leshchenko, the country’s minister of agrarian policy and food.
Groszhans, whose family emigrated from Ukraine in 1910, started taking trips to the country in the early 2000s and eventually set up a farming company there. That’s when he met and decided to go into business with Leshchenko, who at the time, according to Groszhans was just “a middle-class entrepreneur in the agricultural sector.”
“He’s just a good person, and he just has a passion for farming, and he just loved going back to the country where our ancestors came from,” his sister Kimberly Groszhans told Inforum in an interview on Monday. “He didn’t do this.”
Groszhans himself claimed in a Medium post published in August that he is a “deceived American investor.” He described how Leshchenko, who he appointed as the manager of his business, began embezzling funds from his company on his fourth day on the job. The Ukrainian, according to Groszhans, transferred the money into his family’s account and also used Groszhans seeds on his family’s land.

Groszhans eventually found out and started filing claims against Leshchenko. But while Groszhans was filing lawsuits, Leshchenko was rising to more powerful offices within the Ukrainian government, and eventually, to the office of agriculture minister.
Ukrainian Weekly reported that in the same […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
