What was “value” of Medvechuk for Russia

The head of the separatist “DPR” Denis Pushilin explained the reasons for the exchange of ex-deputy Viktor Medvedchuk for the Ukrainian military.

“Only before my eyes, within the framework of the Minsk process and outside it, with the participation of Medvedchuk, more than a thousand of our guys were released, who simply would not survive taking into account the conditions in which they were contained. In fact, the gestapo dungeons took place in complex ones. The circumstances are not about everything I can say publicly, but the fact that the referendum and support of the referendum complicated is for sure, ”he said.
