Under the coordination of Turkish intelligence, a large exchange of prisoners between the Russian Federation and Western countries took place in Ankara on August 1.
A plane carrying freed prisoners given to the West by Russia and Belarus lands at the airport in Cologne, Germany. Reuters wrote this on Thursday, August 1.
It is indicated that the following political prisoners have been released: Ilya Yashin, Vladimir Kara-Murza, Alsou Kurmashova, Andrei Pivovarov, Oleg Orlov, Alexandra Skochilenko, Liliya Chanysheva, Ksenia Fadeeva, Evan Gershkovich, Kevin Leak, Demuri Voronin, Vadim Ostanin, Paul Vilan Moizhes. Also on the list of those dismissed is German citizen Rico Krieger, who was sentenced to death in the case of the explosion at the Ozerishche railway station near Minsk in October 2023.
Relatives of former prisoners “knew nothing until the last minute.”
In return, Russia received the FSB killer Vadim Krasikov, spies and scammers.
Earlier, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the agreement between Russia and Western countries (including the United States and Germany) regarding the exchange of prisoners has nothing to do with the issue of the war in Ukraine.
We remind you that the exchange of 26 prisoners between Russia, Belarus and Western countries took place at Ankara airport.
The White House confirmed plans to replace Navalny
