Medvedchuk’s trip to Crimea is ‘very unacceptable step’ by Ukrainian politician – Shmyhal

KYIV. Aug 10 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that he has an extremely negative attitude to the stay of Head of the political council of the Opposition Platform – For Life party, MP Viktor Medvedchuk in Crimea temporarily occupied by Russia.

“I have a negative attitude. This is a very unacceptable step on the part of a Ukrainian politician, whoever he may be, whoever he is. Therefore, I have a critical negative attitude to this,” the head of government said in an interview with Radio Liberty.

Earlier this week, Medvedchuk’s press secretary Oleh Babanin confirmed to a correspondent of the Krym.Realii project that he had gone to the annexed Crimea.

“Viktor Medvedchuk is on vacation as a MP and is resting with his family in Crimea,” he said.

  1. It must surely be possible in law to prosecute a citizen who acts openly as an agent of a fascist foreign power?
    We have the treason law in Britain but have rarely acted upon it since ww2. Otherwise JeremIRA CorbLenin and Nigel Farage would be behind bars.
    But it’s different in Ukraine: they are under partial occupation by said fascist power, so it’s a matter of survival.

    • “It must surely be possible in law to prosecute a citizen who acts openly as an agent of a fascist foreign power?”
      There probably is. But, that is difficult to achieve when those in charge are guilty of sucking fascist weenies.

  2. You are the PM of Ukraine. You are supposed to look after the interests of Ukraine, not Russia. All it needs is for the clown to state Russia has declared war on Ukraine, and all traitors will be hunted down.

  3. “Medvedchuk’s trip to Crimea is ‘very unacceptable step’ by Ukrainian politician – Shmyhal”
    It wasn’t too long ago when the Ukrainian government cried fat tears when politicians from certain European countries went to Crimea. Now, they have a fascist sewer rat in their own ranks that goes there. What now?
    Medvedchuk belongs in a prison for committing high treason!
