A freelance journalist from the United States, Patrick Lancaster, well-known in Donbass, was subjected to the FBI harassment. Intelligence agents paid a visit to his mother who lives in the United States, in an attempt to find out where he was and what he was doing. He wrote about it on his page in the social network Vkontakte.

‘The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is investigating me.

My mother just informed me that FBI agents came to her home. She said they told her there is no need for concern and then asked her very open questions about me. If she knew where I was? What I was doing there? What my job was? and How I got there? Etc. She told them I was a freelance journalist & for the past three years I had been reporting on the situation in the Crimea and covering the Ukraine War in Donbass. She told them that my reports have been unbiased and that Ukraine was not happy about my reports. She told them my Youtube channel, and that they called me. She gave them my number. They have not called. This was a very big surprise to me. I never thought in a million years that my mother would tell me the FBI came asking about me. The FBI going to question a journalist’s mother seems like they could be trying to intimidate that journalist, we will see. I am looking forward to speaking to them and getting more information on why they are investigating me. I have called them and now awaiting a response.
