Ukrainian Choice, officially since 2016[1] named[2]Ukrainian Choice – Right of the People (Ukrainian: Український вибір — Право народу; Russian: Украинский выбор — право народа), is an NGO in Ukraine.[3][4] It was initiated by and is led by the business tycoon Viktor Medvedchuk. In Ukraine it is considered a pro-Russian organisation.[2]
After the beginning of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine some of the organisation leaders were detained by the SBU on charges of preparing a coup d'état and collaborating with Russian special services.[5] Medvedchuk himself is living in exile in Russia since September 2022 after being handed over to Russia in a prisoner exchange.[6]
