Lot has been written about Medvedchuk and Ukrainian politics ... he belonged to the Russian speaking Eastern part of the country.
"A special operation was carried out thanks to the SBU," Zelenskyy wrote in Russian on his verified account on the social media platform Telegram, referencing Ukraine's Security Service.
"Well done! Details later. Glory to Ukraine!" Zelenskyy said.
Ukraine's Security Service posted a mugshot of Medvedchuk on its official Twitter account, along with a cavalier warning for other Russia-allied Ukrainians.
"You can be a pro-Russian politician and work for the aggressor state for years. You may be hiding from justice lately. You can even wear a Ukrainian military uniform for camouflage... But will it help you escape punishment? Not at all! Shackles are waiting for you," the Secret Service tweeted in Russian.

Russian-Ukrainian gas agreement was published by former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko - 2006

One of the most important outcomes of this vote might be that Tymoshenko managed to line up with Victor Yanukovich, Victor Medvedchuk and the Communists. A change of political alliances in Ukraine might be under way.
