30 plots of land, and one yachtUkrainian authorities said on Thursday they seized assets belonging to Viktor Medvedchuk, a Ukrainian politician and Kremlin ally who was arrested earlier this week.
Medvedchuk was captured by Ukraine's security services while trying to flee the country after escaping house arrest in February. Medvedchuk, who leads a pro-Russian opposition party, was charged with treason last year.
The Ukrainian politician is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is the godfather of Medvedchuk's youngest daughter.
Medvedchuk was also thought to be Putin's top choice for replacing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with a pro-Russia puppet leader if Russian forces had taken Kyiv. Ukraine even offered Russia Medvedchuk in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners a proposal the Kremlin declined.

That wouldn't even qualify one of Putin's Russian pals as an oligarch. One stinking yacht?

war.
I don't know much about war.............but I hope that they keep the many billions of $$$ for themselves.

If tfg is ever rightfully convicted of treason, house arrest should not be an option.

If they are, they'll probably get bombed.
