The Russian leadership considered two traitorous Ukrainian politicians who were supposed to seize power in Ukraine after a full-scale Russian invasion – the godfather of the Russian dictator MP Viktor Medvedchuk, and after the failure on the battlefield, the fugitive president Viktor Yanukovych.
According to Ukrainska Pravda sources in intelligence, Moscow planned that power in Kyiv would fall on the third day, and on the tenth day the Russian Federation would have control over the entire country.
Medvedchuk saw himself in the first roles. Not the last role could be played by Sivkovich (deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of the times of Yanukovych, hiding in Russia – ed.). He has been working for the FSB for a long time, and he was trained to manage the pseudo-authority, to select personnel,” the source said.
However, after the imposition of sanctions and the presentation of several suspicions in 2021, Medvedchuk could not engage in business or politics.
Vitya is gradually moving his head. He constantly sits at home, these restrictions psychologically undermine him, because there is nowhere to put himself, – one of the members of the Opposition Platform for Life describes the state of Medvedchuk at the end of January 2022.
I have no doubt that the paths will fight. And not least because I see how Vitya is already “baking loaves and collecting salt” to meet his godfather in Kiev, ”an OPLJ deputy told Ukrayinska Pravda on January 25, 2022, who quietly left two weeks before the invasion. countries for many months
On February 23, the day before the start of the invasion, Medvedchuk unexpectedly postponed meetings with his associates. Before that, he almost never refused meetings with his people. On the morning of February 24, Medvedchuk stopped communicating.
The Ukrainian special services are convinced that the encircled Verkhovna Rada should have removed the head of parliament Ruslan Stefanchuk and, accordingly, acting. O. Medvedchuk became president.
Putin’s godfather was hiding in Kyiv, in a luxurious three-story house near Protasov Yar. In April, he tried to hide by disguising himself in camouflage. In this form, he was caught by the SBU.
The Kremlin’s Plan B was to bring Yanukovych into the arena.
After the “disappearance” of Medvedchuk, the Russians really considered the option of returning Yanukovych to Ukraine. He had to announce again that he was legitimate, and all the other nonsense,” the SBU source said.
One of the ex-top officials of the Yanukovych era convinces that “the Russians were betting on” non-critical imports.
Return to Ukraine of all those who fled after 2014. There will be enough fugitives for several Cabinets. And if they returned, it would be enough to fill several main positions, and then the system itself would begin to generate people for places below, – indicates the UE.
Recall that the plane with Yanukovych was last seen last year on March 7 in Minsk. After that, negotiations moved to Istanbul, and Yanukovych disappeared from sight.
