“This kind of humiliation of a political prisoner on social media is horrible.

And also this proposal to exchange the Ukrainian politician for the Ukrainian military.

Captured soldiers are exchanged, of course, but how can you offer to exchange a political opponent?

Unheard of,” he said.

According to Brikman, this once again shows that there is no unity in Ukraine - in the east, countries gravitate towards Russia, and in the west, towards the West.

He added that the Western media seem to be ignoring Medvedchuk's detention.

On April 12, the Ukrainian president released a photo of Medvedchuk sitting in handcuffs.

Later, he offered to exchange the detained leader of the Opposition Platform for Life for Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Medvedchuk's wife Oksana Marchenko asked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to help release her husband.
