The Kremlin representative answered the question whether Moscow is negotiating with Kyiv on the exchange of Medvedchuk for prisoners.

“No, there is no talk of that,” he said.

Earlier, Peskov said that the Kremlin had seen Medvedchuk's video message distributed by the Security Service of Ukraine.

In a video published by the SBU, Medvedchuk addresses the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, with a proposal to exchange him for military personnel and residents of Mariupol.

On April 12, Zelensky posted a photo of Medvedchuk sitting in handcuffs.
