that night a plane landed in vnukovo with russians who had returned to their homeland from foreign imprisonment, what preceded this and how complex the scenario was that made it possible to realize whether those who returned would become...

during the cold war. russia and belarus on the one hand, western countries on the other. seven states, more than twenty prisoners with mediators, seven planes arrived in turkey. we have seen something similar before in movies, soviet and hollywood, but here is reality. a very complex operation in terms of logistics and those involved. and self-exchanges and negotiations were shrouded in secrecy. the media was seething and speculating, but the official authorities broke the silence only at the very end. about the historical deal ksenia ignatova. first steps on native soil. anna dultseva cannot hold back her tears; she is finally together with her children and husband artyom. the family was separated in december '22. the slavic court considered the spouses to be undercover intelligence officers, condemned their little son and daughter for espionage , and spent the entire year and a half as strangers, foster parents. meets the dultsevs at home personally vladimir putin hugs and gives flowers.

it was possible to reunite relatives and return them to their homeland along with other russians convicted in nato countries during the most complex negotiations on the exchange of prisoners, in which seven states participated at once: russia and belarus, the usa, germany, norway, slovenia and poland. and the turkish national intelligence organization became the mediator. as a result, 10 of our own were exchanged for 16 others on august 1 at ankara airport. god alone, from where the board of the special flight squad russia took off to moscow. vnukovo government airport , two companies of honor guard, red carpet . in just a few minutes, this ramp will go to the plane arriving from ankara, turkey. tonight they welcome the russians back from what may be the biggest and most high-profile prisoner exchange since the cold war. the tu-204 lands exactly in... those extradited to their homeland

spent a long time behind bars without hope of release. vladimir putin invited them to the terminal, where he made the official greeting speech, thanked for loyalty to the country and the oath, then called to the chiefite. first of all, i want to congratulate you all on your return to your homeland, now i want to address those of you who are directly related to the military service, i want to thank you for your loyalty to the oath, your duty and the hand that did not forget about you for a minute and here is the issuance .

that psychological pressure was exerted on our compatriots who were in american prisons. edmund zhelbunov found out all the information available at that moment about those who returned to their homeland, and also about those for whom they were exchanged. the loudest exchange in recent years took place in ankara. journalists were not allowed close, but even from a distance it is clear that this is a serious operation, the special services are working. and for the first time , the main characters appear in the frame, formally still imprisoned russians, but literally a few minutes after the completion of the exchange process, already released. among them, vadim

krasikov, he returned to his homeland from a german prison. the russian was accused of murdering the executioner from the chechen underground, zelimkhan khangashvili. for the western media, he was, quote, peaceful and friendly, but the russian side knows him as an accomplice. bandit, during the events in the caucasus, do you know what he did? i don’t want to say it, but nevertheless i will say it, he laid out our captured soldiers on the road, and then cars

drove over their heads, what kind of person is this and is he a person? well, there was a patriot who... liquidated one of his european capitals. kangashvili was shot dead in berlin in august 1919, and a russian was also detained at the same time. the investigation considered that while lying in wait for a bandit, he fired a whole clip of a pistol at him. the verdict of the german court is life imprisonment. krasikov spent all these years before the exchange in solitary confinement; germany considered him a particularly dangerous criminal. at the same time , evan gershkovich, a journalist for the american edition of the wall street journal, who was detained in march last year and charged with espionage, was considered by the americans to be illegally detained. in russia, it has been reliably established and documented in court that an american newspaper journalist for wall street journal gershkovich, on instructions from the cia in march 2023 in the svedlovsk region, collected secret information about the activities of the defense enterprise aoonpk ural-vadonzavod for the production

and repair of military equipment. his illegal actions were carried out in compliance with a careful world of secrecy. charges were brought against our compatriots under the same article of espionage. but it became clear to the western justice system that an exchange was being prepared as soon as the data of some russians disappeared from the database of the us federal bureau of prisons. among those who returned to their homeland, artyom and anna dultsev, detained in the capital of slovenia 2 years ago, their children were then taken into a foster family. according to western media, during a search of the couple , secure channels for communication with moscow were allegedly found. literally on the eve of the exchange, the ljubljana court sentenced the dultsevs to one year and 7 months, exactly the period they spent in custody before that. in the same 1922 , vadim kanashchonok was also detained in estonia, also charged with espionage; last summer he was extradited to the united states. there konaschonko was named to the employees russian intelligence agencies and accused of smuggling dual-use technology from american ammunition for the russian defense sector.

roman seleznev, who was kidnapped 10 years ago in the maldives, was also transported to the united states. he was accused of cybercrimes and sentenced to 27 years. our media has repeatedly stated that the american side is keeping the russian in inhumane conditions, they have not even been improved. for medical reasons, seliznev has a metal plate in his skull. it’s very bad here, and i want to go home soon. and vladislava the americans transported klyushin from switzerland; they wanted to accuse him of interfering in the 2016 us presidential election, but there was no evidence base and the prosecution fell apart. then investigators decided that the russian got rich on the stock exchange illegally . in addition, mikhail mikushin has already returned from norway. according to the scandinavian intelligence services, he is for... he was detained in poland. to save the return of his family, vladimir putin signed decrees pardoning eleven people; in addition to the american journalist gershkovich, this list also included

former us marine paul willen, also accused of espionage. he waited in the wings for almost 6 years, but washington was in no hurry to get his officer. in the latest exchange, the white house chose to take the basque from russia. who was convicted of drug smuggling, was also released on agents ilya yashin, convicted of fakes about the russian army, and vladimir karamurza, found guilty of treason. before his arrest, karamurza, who also received british citizenship, was a frequent guest at the us congress and demanded imposing sanctions against russia, was also friends with the senator, an ardent russophobe mccain and came to his funeral, then stood behind biden. thank god i have a chance to survive, and this. for the german rick krieger sentenced to death, he was pardoned personally by alexander lukashenko. krieger worked in the security service of the us embassy in berlin, after which he went to the ukrainian legion. a german, according to investigators, was recruited by the ukrainian special services and blew up a railway station last year. krieger together with the rest of the prisoners who were released by

russia are pleased that, as the fsb noted, all these people in one way or another acted in the interests of foreign states to the detriment of our country. edmund shalbanov, irina lemkina, ntv television company. this is the number one topic in the west, joe biden called the day of the exchange very good, and indeed, contrary to usual at yesterday's press conference, he did not have to fend off the usual questions about health. and the state of affairs in the economy. in the united states , the deal is spoken of as a victory for diplomacy and a great gift to the biden administration ahead of the election. however, donald trump tried to ruin the holiday. his summary is a deal, a bad precedent, american negotiators are a disgrace. on the exchange of views on the prisoner exchange, alexey vasilovsky. a plane carrying us citizens pardoned by russia landed at andrews air force base near washington around midnight, president. biden, to whom the american media attributes a key role in organizing the exchange, together with vice president kamela

harris, personally came to meet the liberated people to the airfield, despite the late hour. for the biden administration, the return to america of paul willan, evan gershkovich and alsou kurmasheva is not just a historical deal, as it has already been dubbed here. an incredible diplomatic success is still a success. details emerged, allegedly haris was also personally involved in the deal and even discussed some of its details with european

partners. but the ex-president criticized the exchange, not yet knowing the nuances, trump wrote on the social network, so when are they going to publish the details of the prisoner exchange with russia, how many people will we get and how much will they get, do we pay them money or do they pay us? trump, apparently, is hurt; he insisted at almost every rally that if he wins the election, he will do so immediately. meeting those released at andrews air base, the us president spoke with reporters about

his telephone conversation with the israeli prime minister, as the white house reported. during this contact, biden announced the possibility of deploying american troops to support israel. in addition, the us president confirmed washington’s readiness to help israel must defend itself against all threats from iran, hamas, hezbollah and the houthis. at the same time, biden emphasized his concern about the escalating tensions in the middle east. very direct conversation with the prime minister, very direct, there is a basis for a ceasefire, he should move on, and he should move forward, now. answering the question how the murder of the head of poliddur hamas ismail haniyeh in tehran affected the achievement of a truce in gaza, biden answered briefly: it did not help. hanyo is being buried today doha, where he lived in recent years. hamas announced hanei's death on wednesday, noting that he was killed in an israeli missile attack and that the attack would not go unanswered.
