American Farmer Arrested in Ukraine
North Dakota farmer Kurt Groszhans spent his Thanksgiving in a Ukrainian prison cell. He’s accused of plotting to assassinate Roman Leshchenko, the minister of agriculture. Groszhans allegedly wanted revenge against Leshchenko for embezzling $250,000 from him in 2018. Guilty or not, one would think that an American citizen trying to assassinate a foreign official would be a major news story. No stories on CNN and no indignant tweets from Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Imagine if Groszhans was arrested in Russia, Belarus, China, or Iran.
