When Putin forgets about the heavily sanctioned Russian Oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk…
And then the SBU comes a knocking with an actual “special operation” and takes traitor Medevedchuk into custody. Clink-Clink the sound of handcuffs…
Putin —you forgot one of your saboteurs…
On the Official Telegram account of Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskyy -announced that the SBU (The Security Service of Ukraine) had taken Victor Medvedchuk. Mr. Medvedchuk has long held, a very and I mean very pro-Russian beliefs. Moreover he was a member of Parliament in Ukraine. In days after Putin’s war, Medvedchuk later fled house arrest. And apparently spent 48+ days hiding —but wearing military fatigues —and boy did President Zelenskyy have a few things to say about that…
I mean back in February I explained why Viktor Medvedchuk was “on the lamb” —previously the Court ordered him released with quasi stringent conditions of release. And how the (now indicted) former President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko egregious disinformation and misinformation —specifically the nexus of the “ghost of Kiev” ←I mean the fact that “Kyiv” was misspelled, isn’t exactly lost on me. Again I’d encourage you to read this previously published February 2022 article. I think I did a decent job and my presentment of facts will help you understand why I don’t trust Poroshenko and his second in command Medvedchuk.
Similarly it’s unsurprising that Putin did send a special operation team (like Wanger) into Ukraine to extract Medvedchuk —in that respect Trump and Putin are oddly similar. Meaning loyalty is a one way street for those bloodthirsty murderous sociopaths.
Conversely and like I’ve repeatedly stated; it’s possible Poroshenko really is being honest —that he voluntarily returned to Ukraine to help fight for the Country… given he actually returned to Ukraine to face the treason charges. And it should not be lost on you that late yesterday President Zelenskyy published this on his Telegram Channel V_Zelenskiy_official
I am finding that getting (near real time) factual information about Russia’s war on Ukraine —it’s best to get that information directly from the source
“It is very symbolic that Mr. Medvedchuk was detained on Cosmonautics Day.
He has been hiding for 48 days. And finally decided to try to escape from our country. Well, for this "astronaut" - in the bad sense of the word - the famous "Let's go!" did not work.
I think it is especially cynical of him to use military camouflage. He tried to disguise himself like that. Such a "soldier". Such a "patriot".
Well, if Medvedchuk chose a military uniform for himself, he falls under the rules of wartime. I offer the Russian Federation to exchange this guy of yours for our boys and our girls who are now in Russian captivity. It is therefore important that our law enforcement officials and military also consider this possibility…
This morning President Zelenskyy posted the following on his official telegram channel:
It’s the specific list of weaponry that shows just how much Ukraine needs. I wouldn’t be surprised if America and our Allies are sending other (hopefully more sophisticated) weaponry but not publicizing what they are sending to Ukraine. I think commonsense dictates that if (operative word) we are sending Ukraine more advanced weaponry that it won’t be publicly disclosed —think about the operational security ramifications. Meaning if Russia is monitoring (which I assume they are) the weapons being delivered, strategically that could infer Putin would send out counter-offensive weapons. But again that’s an assumption on my end —so I’d encourage you to be skeptical..
The SBU statement is absolutely brutal…
“You can be a pro-Russian politician and work for years for an aggressor state. You may be hiding from justice lately. You can even wear a Ukrainian military uniform for camouflage,”… but… shackles are waiting for you.” the SBU wrote in a Telegram post
SBU (Ukraine Security Services) Ivan Bakanov, who currently is in charge the SBU. Mr Bakanov stated that;
the pro-Russian leader was captured in a “lightning-fast and dangerous multilevel special operation..No traitor will escape punishment and will be held accountable under the Law of Ukraine,”
Official Telegram Channel: Служба безпеки України —And if you’re unaware the SBU’s official YouTube Channel -Служба безпеки України —Which I highly recommend you take a few moments and listen to the various (intercepted) telephone calls from Russian Soldiers to their wives —
The Best Sunrise —possibly ever…
At any rate our deep sea fishing was canceled, primarily due to winds gusting at >30kt —so that’s not exactly conducive to a smooth boat ride. However not all was lost —today’s sunrise was just absolutely breathtaking and I had extra helpers this morning. The time lapse video —that taken by one of my kiddos.
Have a great day and Be Well.

I missed Cosmonautics Day again?!?
SBU's YouTube is a wakeup call. Thanks for that receipt in particular, Mic.
