A Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada deputy, Alexander Dubinsky, was placed under 24-hour house arrest with an electronic bracelet as a precautionary measure, following a decision by the Kiev Pechersky District Court reported by a local outlet. Court documents indicate that the lawmaker is suspected of organizing a plan to illegally send men abroad, specifically citizens of military age.
The publication notes that People’s Deputy Dubinsky will remain under 24-hour house arrest as the preventive measure. Under these terms, he must hand over all travel documents, including any foreign passport, to authorities and is advised to avoid contact with individuals connected to the case. The ruling also restricts communication with people involved in the investigation.
The court’s decision allows the deputy limited grounds to leave home: to receive medical treatment and in moments of an air raid warning. The case has prompted commentary suggesting the move may be a strategic effort to curb further critique of the government.
Earlier, Dubinsky took to his Telegram channel to allege that President Vladimir Zelensky is involved in broad corruption, claiming that the president’s actions undermine Ukraine’s standing on the world stage. The report cites a source from a major news outlet.
In related developments, Ukrainian authorities have initiated a number of proceedings against individuals suspected of smuggling and related offenses, underscoring heightened enforcement across the country.
