Almost UAH 3 million have already been recovered at auctions for the confiscated transport of the ex-leader of the currently banned party "Opposition Platform — For Life" (OPZZh) of Viktor Medvedchuk.
This was reported by the head of the State Agency for Management and Asset Management (ARMA) Olena Duma.
A Maybach car (2003) was sold at auction today for 1 829 009 hryvnias. A separate lot also sold the latest Bombardier quad bike (2004) for 160 000 hryvnias.
These funds will now be used to purchase military bonds.
Earlier, ARMA had already sold Medvedchukʼs buggy and ATV for almost a million hryvnias.
In addition, ARMA has already received an independent appraisal of 20 of Medvedchukʼs collectible wristwatches. They were valued at 10.6 million hryvnias and will soon be put up for auction. Also, in the near future, an assessment of 136 paintings of the former MP is expected.
- Viktor Medvedchuk is a former MP, compadre of the leader of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Ukraine suspects Medvedchuk of treason. On September 22, 2022, Ukraine gave it to Russia during a large exchange, then it was possible to return the commanders from "Azovstal". Medvedchuk and his family now live in Russia and registered the non-governmental organization "Drugaya Ukraina" [“Another Ukraine”] there.
- One of Medvedchukʼs most expensive assets, which Ukraine is trying to sell, is his €200 million 92-meter yacht Royal Romance. It was arrested back in 2022, and in February 2024 the Cabinet of Ministers approved the sale. However, this process has stopped at the moment, because the court in Croatia canceled her arrest.
