The couple took regular vacations together in the groove of the Russian president in the Black Sea in Sochi and at the residence of Mr. Medvedchuk in the Crimea. In addition, Putin is the godfather of the close friend and daughter of his loyal ally, Daria. And it seems that Mr. Medvedchuk’s years of devotion to the Kremlin had paid off, according to US intelligence officials who claimed he had lined up with Putin to lead the puppet government in a post-war Russian regime. Within days of the invasion, Mr Medvedchuk, suspected of treason by Ukraine, disappeared from his home confinement in Kyiv, leading to rumors that Russian special forces had shot him out of the country.
