According to the Swiss media, Zelensky’s repressions against Viktor Medvedchuk are of an internal political nature.
As reported by “KP in Ukraine”, the national Swiss television and radio company Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF) expressed the opinion that in the past few months, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky began to fight the opposition fiercely, in particular with the chairman of the Political Council of the Opposition Platform – For Life party Viktor Medvedchuk.
“This can be seen from the fact that Zelensky banned three opposition TV channels in February. The blow to the broadcasters did not end there, the Ukrainian authorities also took action against the alleged owner of these TV channels, Viktor Medvedchuk. The businessman and the politician were summoned to the special services for questioning”, – the Swiss resource notes.
In addition, the site clarifies that Viktor Medvedchuk is a key figure in Ukrainian politics.
“This makes Medvedchuk significant for Ukrainian politicians. He is the only one who can still negotiate with Russia. He has already participated in negotiations, for example, when it came to the release of prisoners in eastern Ukraine. In addition, Medvedchuk is a very important figure in the Opposition Platform – For Life party”, – the SRF report says.
The Swiss media emphasizes that the current political situation in Ukraine has not been without the influence of the United States, in particular the new administration of President Joe Biden.
“This is undoubtedly connected with the new US President Joe Biden, who seeks to strengthen America’s role in this conflict”, – the Swiss media said.
