FEARS have been raised over the safety of a rail worker in Ukraine who has been accused of high treason by prosecutors who claim he has been carrying out “subversive activities.”

The Donetsk Regional Prosecutor's Office has notified the head of the Volnovakha Station of the charges that have been brought against him under martial law in absentia.

The unnamed official is accused of supporting Russia by personally controlling repairs to the rail network which has been damaged due to the war in the region.
