Look inside one of the extravagant country homes of pro-Russian tycoon Viktor Medvedchuk who was captured by Ukrainian forces this week

A Ukrainian tycoon with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin is having a bad week.

The pro-Russia politician was captured by Ukrainian forces after escaping house arrest on treason charges. Zelenskyy shared a photo of Medvedchuk on Telegram, which was proof of his arrest.

Ukrainian authorities said on Thursday that they had seized a trove of assets belonging to Medvedchuk, including 23 houses, 32 apartments, 30 plots of land, 26 cars, and one yacht.

Medvedchuk has used his close relationship with Putin to install himself as one of the most powerful politicians in the country.

If Kyiv had fallen after the invasion, Medvedchuk was thought to be Russia's top choice as a replacement for Zelenskyy.

The Kremlin shot down the offer to swap Medvedchuk for Ukrainian prisoners, seemingly cutting ties with the captured tycoon.

Photos from yonder days show the luxurious life Medvedchuk had.
