Ukraine snatches Putin's pal 'Prince of Darkness' & offers trade for POWs

Viktor Medvedchuk, 67, was snatched in a covert raid by spooks from Ukraine's security service, the SBU, on Tuesday.
Pictures shared by the country's president Volodomyr Zelenskiy show the dishevelled media magnate and former MP donning Ukrainian military fatigues.
A spokesman from the SBU said the oligarch had been captured in a “lightning-fast and dangerous” special operation.
On Wednesday President Zelenskiy proposed swapping Putin's buddy for prisoners of war being held by brutal Russian forces.
It is hoped the infamous oligarch can be used as a strong bargaining chip in bitter negotiations with the Kremlin.
Medvedchuk has been branded the ‘Grey Cardinal’ and ‘The Prince of Darkness’ for his influence in Ukrainian business and politics.
While tyrant Putin - whom Medvedchuk has described as a “personal friend” - is godfather to his daughter. They have even holidayed together.
As leader of the country’s main pro-Moscow party in Ukraine - the Opposition Platform For Life - he was the Kremlin’s most trusted and influential lieutenant in Ukraine.
He held the role in the party, which has the second highest number of seats in the Ukrainian parliament, until last month, when the party moved to replace him.
