released as a result of exchange. the lights will be presented to state awards, vladimir putin said. the president met at the airport eight russian citizens and two children who were returned to their homeland. anastasia efimova has all the details. the runway, the red carpet, the presidential regiment, a plane lands in vnukov, on board of which are those whom, as the president puts it, the homeland has not forgotten for a minute. the head of state personally arrived at the airfield to directly meet the russians who had returned home on exchange. first

vadim krasikov comes down, collected, restrained, the same patriot about whom, apparently, vladimir putin spoke in february in an interview with tucker carlson, whom he shook hands with and hugged today. following hand in hand are the four dultsev family, anna and artyom and their two minor children, and this, of course, is the most emotional scene of the evening. the dulceva couple were arrested in slovenia at the end of 2022, their children were sent to foster families. if it weren’t for the current exchange with their mother and father, they might not have returned, so that anna’s tears and artyom’s smile are like the embarrassment of their son and daughter. so easy to understand, vladislav

klyushin, vadim konoshchenok, pavel rubtsov, by the way, the only one who goes down the ladder with things, mikhail makushin, roman seleznev, eight russians detained in prison in nato countries, all will be presented with state awards, the president emphasized, and specially thanked those involved in military service. first of all, i want to congratulate you all on the return of the people. now i want to address those of you, who is directly related to military service, i want to thank you for your loyalty to the oath, your duty and the hand that does not forget about you for a minute. and here you are, all of you will be represented by the state. we

will see you again, talk about your future, now i just want to congratulate you on your return home, thank you very much, congratulations to you, thank you, this conversation continued right at the airport without a journalist’s camera and of course without cuts, to everyone whose way home turned out to be so tortuous, then... between russia and belarus in the west at a really big exchange of prisoners coordinated by the turkish intelligence service. which of ours returned to their homeland? vladim krasikov, sentenced by a court in berlin to life imprisonment according to western investigators.

a year and seven months of imprisonment in the case of the spouses were sentenced in slovenia to one espionage offense, they spent approximately the same amount of time in custody and have now been released and exchanged accordingly. still back. mikhail mikushin, accused of espionage in norway. he worked at the arctic university of tramsø. returned spanish journalist of russian origin, pavla gonzalez, aka pavel rubtsov, arrested in poland in 2020. roman seleznev, who was kidnapped in the maldives in 2014 by us intelligence agencies and sentenced in the us to 27 years in prison for cyber fraud, also returned to his homeland as part of the current exchange, as did russian it entrepreneur vladislav. detained 3 years ago in switzerland at the request of washington on suspicion of cyber attacks on american companies, vadim kanoshchenok, accused of illegal procurement of electronics for the russian defense sector. this is how they were forced to board the plane in turkey. vadim krasikov

was brought to the plane wearing a motorcycle helmet, these are special measures, as if for dangerous criminals. the first to board the plane were artyom and anna dultsevy with their children, who would have been sent to an orphanage a little longer if only. the exchange did not take place, but everyone is on board to finally fly home. but who we gave in return. american journalist evan gershkovich, sentenced in russia to sixteen years in prison for espionage. another american convicted in russia of espionage, former marine paul willan, returned to the states; according to the state prosecution, career intelligence officer, german citizen, rika krieger, who was imprisoned in belarus, he was charged with six counts from terrorism to mercenarism to fate. in an extremist formation, was sentenced to death, was recently pardoned, and has now been released and extradited as part of the current prisoner exchange. also on the list of exchanged foreigners is patrick schobel, accused of smuggling, as well as a citizen of russia and germany kevin lickg, who collaborated with

the intelligence services of nato countries. agents and extremists of all kinds also went to the west, russian citizen of great britain agent vladimir karamurza, sentenced to 25 years in prison. we exchanged, according to the wording of the fsb, a group of people who acted in the interests of foreign states to the detriment of the security of russia, we returned 10 of our compatriots to their homeland, this exchange is the largest in the history of our country since

the cold war, a total of 26 people were on the lists. joe biden welcomed in exchange concluded between moscow and washington and added that the united states will continue to work on returning to its homeland.

in germany, poland, slovenia, norway and turkey. they all stepped up and were with us, they were with us, they made bold decisions, released prisoners who were legally held in their countries , and provided logistical support to bring americans home. the united states calls this deal the largest exchange operation in recent years, some even claim what it can do. to be the largest exchange of prisoners since the second world war, it is called historical by the number of prisoners exchanged by the number of countries involved in this process, it is known that the deal included the exchange of persons who were in prisons in seven countries, except russia and the usa, these are germany, poland, slovenia, norway, belarus, and of course, turkey itself,

which provided the site, we saw planes landing at ankara airport today, there were seven planes in total, two from the usa, one from germany, poland, slovenia, norway and'. details of these negotiations, it is assured that representatives of the cia were most involved; representatives also participated in these negotiations in the agreements. the white house, the state department, and president biden, as we are assured, on the same day that he renounced the election race on july 21 , a few hours earlier, he called the prime minister of slovenia and personally asked him to release the two russians in order for this deal to take place . it is known that last week cia director william burns went to turkey to meet with my colleagues to discuss all the details, all the logistics. but it is clear that now, during the pre-election period, every department is trying to outbid, as they say. we are very grateful to the countless

members of our department and interagency who have worked tirelessly to achieve this result and provided support in this endeavor over the years. i'm talking specifically about our employees at the embassy in moscow, about our consular officers. today we celebrate that paul, evan, alsul, vladimir and others are free and reaffirm our efforts for freedom. the cnn television channel, citing its sources , assures that after all, the main agency that conducted the negotiations was the cia, its director william burts. negotiations were conducted with russian intelligence, with representatives of russian special services in personal meetings, as well as by telephone. as unnamed sources in the intelligence services tell the tv channel, in june of this year intelligence representatives met on the territory of a certain a third country, and there the united states put forward a proposal on parameters. exchange, which was completed a few hours ago, and a few days later, russian representatives met with burns and confirmed their

ability, their desire, russia's desire, to carry out the deal on these very terms. it is clear that now both biden and haris will make the most of this exchange for their election purposes, as we saw, today biden stood surrounded by the families of american citizens who will return to their homeland in the coming hours, where, by the way, they will arrive for sure it is unknown whether it will be washington or some other? city, and it is also reported that kamela haris deliberately interrupted her election tour, now she is traveling around the states with election rallies to also meet with the liberated, collapsed americans, and of course, now this is probably the main foreign policy achievement of the biden harris administration, of course that kamala harris, as the current candidate, practically the democratic candidate, will also use this in her election campaign campaign, because we have to be honest at the moment... of course,

this administration has no other great achievements comparable to the return of american citizens to the united states, so there is nothing more to brag about. dmitry melnikov and pavel kostrikov, news from washington. the british foreign secretary welcomed the exchange. the president of the european council, charles michel, also wrote the same on social networks. the reaction of european media politicians is monitored by the chief of our berlin bureau, mikhail antonov.

to the federal republic of germany, which was the key to organizing this exchange, they did not want to put him into action for quite a long time, and there was little talk about the release of vadim krasikov, the man whom the german justice sentenced to life imprisonment for the liquidation of the chechen field commander zelimkhan khangashvili here in berlin on august 23, 1919, he was shot in little thurgarton park, and for quite a long time... the federal republic of germany withstood the pressure that came from washington did not include vadim krasikov on

the exchange list. well, finally, it happened, although it required some effort on the part of the federal government. there is a corresponding statement on this matter from stefan hebbestreit, the official representative of chancellor scholz. the german government did not take this decision lightly. the state's interest in carrying out the sentence of a convicted criminal was negated by the need to preserve freedom. physical well-being in some cases, ultimately the lives of innocent people imprisoned in russia. our commitment to protecting german citizens and solidarity with the united states were important motivators. we hope that all those released will recover from physical psychological suffering in the company of their family and friends. well, this is the humanitarian component of the decision on the exchange, it is very widely discussed in the german media, in the western media, of course, the decisive factor that tipped the scales in favor of the exchange and forced the german authorities to somehow act differently

to look at this process, there was the conviction in belarus of a certain rick krieger, a man accused of... terrorism, let me remind you, he was sentenced to capital punishment, there were two factors that apparently influenced the position of the federal chancellery, the general prosecutor's office of germany, ministry of justice, on the one hand, this is the need to help your citizen out of trouble, there is no escape, on the other hand, the approaching elections in the united states and the need to support the friendly administration of joseph biden. mikhail antonov, anastasia barkovskaya, andrey putra, vesti berlin-germany. vladimir putin congratulated airborne forces personnel and veterans on airborne forces day. a congratulatory telegram was published on the kremlin website. the president noted that patriotic traditions, loyalty to the oath and military brotherhood help paratroopers solve important tasks during a special military operation. the head of state expressed confidence that the airborne forces will continue to reliably

guard the independence and sovereignty of our country and ensure it defense capability and... national security. the russian army repulsed all attacks in the ssu. zelensky’s formation lost about 2,000 more soldiers and mercenary officers. 26 gunships, self-propelled guns and missile systems, mostly produced by nato countries, were destroyed. an armored car tank was destroyed. missile strikes and drones eliminated three launchers of the patriot anti-aircraft missile system, a drone control center, as well as trains on the railway with personnel and... ammunition, a concentration of manpower and military enemy technology. the air defense system was shot down by 61 combat drones, long-range atakoms missiles and 14 hymars missiles. participants in the special military operation and members of their families continue to travel around russian cities as part of an all-russian project of the ministry
