As an example, the Office of the President recalled the exchange process with Viktor Medvedchuk.



Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine , announced this on the air of Current Time. Answering the question whether he does not exclude the possibility of exchanging Boguslaev, Podolyak replied:

No, we won't (rule that possibility). If necessary, we will do everything to pick up real citizens of Ukraine. These subjects may be included in the exchange list

Podolyak cited the exchange process with Viktor Medvedchuk as an example. Then, in exchange for Medvedchuk and another 55 Russian soldiers, Ukraine returned 108 servicemen. Including the commanders of the Azov regiment.

It is worth recalling that on October 24, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention for a period of two months for the president of the Motor Sich Corporation, Vyacheslav Boguslayev, and the head of the department for foreign economic activity, Oleg Dzyuba.

On October 22, they were detained by SBU officers on suspicion of "collaboration activities" and "complicity with the aggressor state." This detention took place within the framework of criminal proceedings on the illegal supply by Motor Sich of military goods for Russian attack aircraft.
