Oksana Marchenko, the wife of Viktor Medvedchuk, recorded a video message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanding "immediate release of her husband" Viktor Medvedchuk, APA reports citing UKRANIAN News.

The video appeared on her YouTube channel.

"His life should be out of danger. I'm waiting for your answer," she said.

The video appeared on April 13 after the detention of Viktor Medvedchuk. Marchenko claims that the SSU illegally detained her husband. She claims that he did not break any laws of Ukraine, did not leave its territory, and "always was for peace," and his "persecution is political."

After that, Marchenko recorded another appeal to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. She asks him to assist in the release of Viktor Medvedchuk and become an intermediary in "this rainy day."

"You have repeatedly said that you are a friend of Ukraine and Russia, I believe in this. As they say in Turkey: a friend is known on a rainy day (…) I ask you, dear Mr. President, to use your influence to save my husband.”
