House arrest of Viktor Medvedchuk does not contribute to his work as one of the leaders of the Rada s second-largest faction, Opposition Platform – For Life (OPZZh). UNIAN asked to what extent the high treason charges pressed against Medvedchuk will affect the OPZZh disposition, the ratings of this political force, and the sympathies of its voters.
The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv on May 13 ruled on 24-hour house arrest for Viktor Medvedchuk. With a high degree of probability, in the coming months, we will observe Medvedchuk fighting to remain in Ukrainian politics. First, this is because a political career helps business survive. Secondly, it s because, without political influence, he is unlikely to be needed here by his godfather Vladimir Putin. But no one should expect that this will in any way hit the rating of his political force. There are several arguments backing this point.
