(Reuters) -A Ukrainian lawmaker who was formally notified this week that he was suspected of treason for allegedly cooperating with Russia's military intelligence said on Wednesday a Kyiv court had ordered him detained for 60 days.

Oleksandr Dubinsky, who is on a U.S. sanctions list, was told on Monday he was also suspected of spreading misinformation about Ukraine's political leadership, officials said.
