Abramovich himself tried, as usual, to remain in complete shadow, but Medvedchuk, according to the source, flew to Turkey several times for consultations, accompanied by his faithful ally Taras Kozak.
It was also Medvedchuk who involved Patriarch Kirill in the “Christmas truce” operation, who was involved in the prisoner exchange back in 2017.
Moreover, Alisher Usmanov, who financed all these processes, also took an indirect part in what was happening, and the plane on which Medvedchuk was traveling belongs to one of the structures associated with Metalloinvest.
Usmanov has recently been extremely concerned about Prigozhin’s increased role and his announced proposal to seize Usmanov’s assets.
The source said that the oligarchs were confident that the Christmas truce would be supported by Ukraine with the help of Turkey, then would last for a longer period and end with the signing of a peace treaty. “And they “infected” Putin with their confidence,” the interlocutor noted.
Ultimately, Abramovich, Medvedchuk and Usmanov wanted to go down in history as peacemakers and thus solve all their problems. However, the plans were dashed by a “slap in the face” from Ukraine, which unilaterally categorically refused the so-called “Christmas truce.”
