Zelensky offers to trade pro-Russian politician for captured troops
GBNews24 Desk//
In his nightly address on the 48th day of war, President Zelensky boasted of having captured the country’s most senior pro-Russian politician, Viktor Medvedchuk, who was on the run suspected of treason.
He denounced Medvedchuk for his “cynical” wearing of military camouflage in his alleged attempt to escape prosecution.
“Well, if Medvedchuk chose a military uniform for himself, he falls under the rules of wartime,” said Volodymr Zelensky, going on to offer to exchange him with Russia for Ukrainians they are holding in captivity.
“Let Medvedchuk be an example for you,” he continued.
“Even the former oligarch did not escape, not to mention much more ordinary criminals from the Russian boondocks. We will get everyone,” he said, adding that “it is necessary to punish collaborators”, reports BBC.
