) for our guys in Russian captivity,” he said on Wednesday in his video message.
Earlier, Zelensky published a photo in which the head of the political council of the Opposition Platform - For Life party, Viktor Medvedchuk, is sitting in handcuffs.
The former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ilya Kiva, in connection with the news of the detention of Medvedchuk, said that Zelensky needed a loud newsbreak to divert attention from the death of Ukrainian nationalists and marines in Mariupol.
