Podolyak spoke about the possibility of exchanging Medvedchuk/Liga.NO
Ukraine is ready to exchange Viktor Medvedchuk for the departure of all the defenders and residents of Mariupol, but Russia is unlikely to agree to this.
An adviser said this Head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak on the air of a nationwide marathon, broadcast by Channel 24.
According to Podolyak, this is really the only proposal that could have formed in Medvedchuk's head and to which Ukraine can agree.
But I don't think Russia will go for it. Because for them Mariupol has become a symbol of Ukraine's invincibility. And the Russians today are generally mentally returned to strange symbols. And for them, destroying the symbol of the country's invincibility is a very important point, – said the adviser to the head of the President's Office.
At the same time, Podolyak hopes “that someone can tell the political leadership of Russia that it would be nice from the point of view of a humanistic approach”.
Let us add that Viktor Medvedchuk, a people's deputy from the Opposition Platform for Life, previously detained by the Security Service, turned to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and his godfather of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin with a proposal to exchange him for the defenders and residents of Mariupol.< /p>
