Zelenskyy's Office assumes russia will not agree to exchange Medvedchuk for Mariupol residents
russia is unlikely to agree to exchange the father of vladimir putin's godchild for the defenders of Mariupol.
Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said this on a single telethon.
"The russian federation will not go for it, it seems to me. Mariupol has become a symbol of Ukraine's invincibility for them. The Russians are a bit obsessed with the strange symbols Z, V, which they draw, and for them to destroy the symbol of Ukraine's invincibility is a very fundamental moment," Podoliak said.
The only hope, he added, was that someone in the kremlin would tell putin that such an exchange would be a good "humanistic approach."
To recap, the Security Service of Ukraine detained Medvedchuk on April 12. The FSB of the russian federation tried to take the fugitive people's deputy first to Transnistria and later to moscow. The Security Service of Ukraine detained him on the way out of the Kyiv region.
