“After such a discovery of Mr. Medvedchuk, he definitely should now be in custody and await a trial,” TASS quoted her as saying.

Venediktova stressed that the Prosecutor General's Office would insist on this.

On April 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted 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 stated that she still does not know the whereabouts of her husband.
