schema:articleBody	Ukraine said Tuesday it was searching the Kiev home of powerful pro-Russian lawmaker Viktor Medvedchuk as part of an ongoing investigation into treason. Medvedchuk, 66, is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has been repeatedly criticised in Ukraine for doing business in Russia, which backs separatists fighting Kiev's army. Medvedchuk and his wife Oksana Marchenko in February were listed in a criminal probe into the "financing of terrorism". "We confirm the searches" are being carried out, Ukraine's SBU security service told AFP, adding that further details would be issued later. Ukraine's Prosecutor General Iryna Venedyktova announced that Medvedchuk and another pro-Moscow lawmaker Taras Kozak were confirmed as suspects in the case. The MPs "are suspected of high treason and attempts to plunder national resources in the Ukrainian Crimea", annexed by Moscow in 2014, Venedyktova wrote on Facebook. She added that during the searches law enforcement officers were unable to ascertain Medvedchuk's location. Both Venedyktova and the SBU chief Ivan Bakanov announced a press conference later on Tuesday. Ukraine has been fighting separatists backed by Russia in the eastern Donetsk and Lugansk regions since 2014. The fighting has claimed more than 13,000 lives, according to the United Nations. Kiev accuses Moscow of sending troops and arms to fuel the conflict, referring to the separatists and those who support them as terrorists. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has banned three pro-Russia television channels formally owned by Kozak, but linked to Medvedchuk. Zelensky's press service described the channels as a "propaganda tool" and said they receive funding from Russia. ant-osh/jbr/bp
