American citizen Matthew VanDyke and six Ukrainians remain detained in a case linked to alleged drone training, though no formal terror charges have been filed against them so far. VanDyke's family has appealed to the US government to intervene diplomatically on his behalf. His interrogation was scheduled to take place on September 2 and 3. The case has drawn attention due to its international dimensions involving both a US national and Ukrainian citizens.
