Viktor Medvedchuk. Archival photoMOSCOW, April 13 State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin reacted to the detention in Ukraine of the head of the political council of the Opposition Platform — For Life party Viktor Medvedchuk. “If something happens to Viktor Medvedchuk, Zelensky will have to answer,” he wrote on the Telegram channel. Volodin recalled that Medvedchuk was the initiator of the implementation of the Minsk agreements and advocated an independent, non-bloc Ukraine. This, according to the speaker of the State Duma, is his main difference from Vladimir Zelensky, who dances to the tune of the United States. It is for this reason that Washington and Brussels do not support the leader of the Opposition Platform for Life, Volodin is sure. Volodin added. The detention of Medvedchuk became known the night before. The Security Service of Ukraine stated that it carried out such a special operation on behalf of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Later, Zelensky himself offered Russia to exchange the politician for captured Ukrainians. In the Kremlin, the persecution of the head of the Opposition Platform for Life Life was called a vivid illustration of what the Kyiv regime is, and the process itself was called politically motivated and far-fetched. According to presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, Moscow will follow the fate of Medvedchuk and calls on European politicians to do so. against Medvedchuk
