Son-in-law of People's Deputy Viktor Medvedchuk accused of treason Andrey Ryumin " As the Russian company “Rosseti” stated, he allegedly arrived in the city with an inspection as the general director of PJSC to check “the restoration of the city’s power grid facilities”.

He also visited a number of other Russian-occupied settlements in the Donetsk region.

However, Russian political strategist Stanislav Belkovsky said that Ryumin could get a high position in the territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia..

“Given that Mr. Ryumin has been a trusted and reliable member of Mr. Medvedchuk’s family since 2006, he can become one of the most important leaders in the territories of Ukraine occupied and annexed by the Russian Federation,” he wrote..

Andrei Ryumin is 41 years old. In 2006, he married the daughter of Viktor Medvedchuk Irina.

Since 2018, he became the head of PJSC Rosseti Lenenergo, and in 2021 Ryumin became the acting head of the largest energy company in Russia, PJSC Rosseti.

Russia planned at least several schemes for managing the occupied territories of Ukraine. In particular, it was planned to unite the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into a new federal district and join it to Russia.

There were also rumors about the possible appointment of the former head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin as the Kremlin's curator for Ukraine..
