Earlier, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky came up with such an idea.
“Medvedchuk is not a Russian citizen.
It has nothing to do with the special military operation.
He is a foreign politician.
We don’t know at all whether he himself wants some kind of Russian participation in resolving this libelous situation against him, ”Peskov said.
He added that the persecution of Medvedchuk for his political views is a clear illustration of what the Kyiv regime really is.
Peskov added that Medvedchuk has always been "for peace, has always been for peace, opposed the war, against the expansion of the conflict in the Donbass."
“If at one time these ideas of his and the ideas of his party were taken into account or formed the basis of the state policy of Ukraine, then there would be no military operation,” he said.
According to the presidential press secretary, the Kremlin will monitor the fate of the head of the Ukrainian party Opposition Platform - For Life and urge European politicians to do so.
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.
