For high treason. For what? Did he steal some secrets, secretly pass them on? Putin asked.
The Russian leader continued that, in his opinion, Medvedev was being persecuted for his open political position. According to Putin, Medvedchuk's activities were aimed at stabilizing the domestic political situation in Ukraine and building relations with neighbors. Putin stressed that this is important for Ukraine itself.
“It seems that the people of Ukraine are not allowed and will not be allowed to form a government that reflects their interests,” the Russian president said. The Russian state called the situation in Ukraine a dead end and noted that there was a group of people in power and that it was she who was running the country, not the president. He said that Ukrainians began to be afraid to respond to opinion polls, the military development of the territory of Ukraine is underway, which poses a threat to the Russian Federation.
“We will see what happens on the Ukrainian political scene in the near future,” he added.
