Viktor Medvedtchouk, an oligarch of Ukrainian origin close to Vladimir Putin, is reviled in his country. He was arrested by the Ukrainian services after having violated his summons at residence.

In September 2022, he was included in a prisoner exchange: kyiv recovers 215 soldiers, including 108 from the Azov regiment, while Moscow recovers 55 people.
