The exchange process took place at the airport in the Turkish capital Ankara, local media reported.
The exchange of 26 prisoners between Russia, Belarus and Western countries took place at Ankara airport. This was reported by the Turkish television channel NTV.
The video shows one of the two aircraft of the special flight squad “Russia” Tu-204-300, which landed at Esenboga air harbor.
Russia “gave” the following people to Western countries:
Ilya Yashin, Evan Gershkovich, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Andrey Pivovarov, Paul Whelan, Alsou Kurmashov, Oleg Orlov, Dieter Voronin, Rico Krieger, German Moizhes, Vadim Ostanin and others.
The Russian Federation “accepted” the following prisoners:
Artem Dultsev (from Slovenia), Anna Dultseva (Slovenia), Vadim Krasikov (from Germany), Mikhail Mikushin (from Norway), Pavel Rubtsov (Poland), Roman Seleznev (USA), Vladislav Klyushin (USA), Vadim Konoshchenko (USA) .
Let’s recall that Slovenian publications earlier wrote about a possible “big exchange” against the backdrop of news about the release of spies’ wives from Russia.
Before this, the Russian opposition Ilya Yashin was taken “in an unknown direction.” Yashin became the fifth “political prisoner” in the past week released from the colony “in an unknown direction.”
