Crime fighting and neighborhood alert app Citizen is looking to expand into Ukraine as Russia continues to invade the country, Motherboard has learned. Citizen told employees it was partnering with broadcaster CBS for the move, with CBS correspondents providing on the ground footage to Citizen, which will then create an ‘incident’ in the Citizen app, according to an internal Citizen email obtained by Motherboard. CBS told Motherboard there is no partnership.

“We’ve brainstormed and gathered ideas on how to safely use our platform during this heartbreaking crisis in the Ukraine,” the internal Citizen email reads, using the outdated Soviet reference for Ukraine. “Our mission is to protect the world, and at moments like these we must think creatively to determine how our technology can do just that.”
