Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expatriated 4 pro-Russian politicians named Andriy Leonidovych Derkach, Taras Romanovych Kozak, Renat Raveliyovych Kuzmin and Viktor Volodymyrovych Medvedchuk.
“If people’s deputies choose to serve not the people of Ukraine but the murderers who came to Ukraine, our actions will be appropriate. And these are not the last such decisions. The services are working,” stated Zelensky.
The pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk was detained by Ukrainian intelligence in April last year on charges of treason. Known for his closeness to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Medvedchuk was sent to Russia last September after Turkiye’s initiative to mediate a prisoner exchange between the two countries.
