Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Putin's godfather Viktor Medvedchuk, who was exchanged for the defenders of Mariupol, left Turkey for the Russian Federation.

The Turkish leader announced this on September 23.

It is worth noting that after the exchange of prisoners there was no news about Medvedchuk in the Russian information field.

Moreover, the spokesman of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmytro Peskov, generally stated that "the Kremlin does not know where Medvedchuk is now, and they do not comment on his exchange."

We will remind, on September 21 it became known about the exchange of prisoners in the territory of several countries: Poland, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and on the border between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

200 Ukrainian heroes 

were exchanged for Putin's godfather Viktor Medvedchuk

, and the commanders of "Azovstal" - for 55 occupiers.
