US crypto investor reported held by separatists

"The US state department has said it is aware of reports an American national living in
Ukraine is being held captive by pro-Russian separatists.
 
Suedi Murekezi, 35, a Rwandan-born crypto investor, is said to have been arrested last month in the Russian-occupied port city of Kherson. Friends and family say the US Air Force veteran has been falsely accused of joining pro-Ukraine protests. He is reportedly in the same jail as two US fighters captured last month." BBC
