again, under the shelling of kiev militants, there are dead and crimes against civilians are committed with the help of western weapons. so in a plane literally just landed in moscow, on which entrepreneur viktor bout returned to his homeland from vnukovo 2. we are waiting for the live broadcast of our correspondent. boris ivanin. this will happen in the near future, but while victor spent 14 years in an american prison on frankly far-fetched and unproven charges, he managed to be exchanged for a us citizen who was convicted in russia for drug smuggling. she was taken in february at sheremetyevo airport with hash oil in the court

verge of tear said she knew that drugs were not allowed to carry in russia but allegedly accidentally threw it into a bag. the exchange took place in abu dhabi. this is the result of a long and painstaking work of the russian side. as recalled in the foreign ministry, washington categorically refused dialogue until the very end, but it was still possible to reach an agreement. both former prisoners are pardoned, meaning they are not required to serve the remainder of their prison sentence. we will be in moscow very soon. well, literally in the next few minutes i will be able to see my relatives and friends, but they talked on the phone earlier. all met. it would be fine, don't worry, everything is fine. i love you love very much. yes pasha well, listen to everything, how are you in general, how is the flight? how can you not freeze at all, have you eaten? don't worry, i'll tell you everything is fine, everything is fine. okay, well, you see, we've been waiting

for a call with you today. you see, on tuesday we talked, and apparently, then it’s all, but it started spinning. ok then. okay. all then. we meet you. and the news about the exchange of victor bud shave. to me, the edge is the main thing and biden in the usa. he says that all this is his merit, but one of the main american hawks, john boulton, on the contrary, said, that this is the capitulation of the states well, why did stanislav vasilchenko find out such different assessments abu dhabi airport, complete secrecy britney grimer returns to the usa exchange for viktor bout saved her from 9 years in a strict regime colony drug smuggling, tv channels interrupt broadcasting with urgent messages unusually early, decided to speak and recently the president of the united states. i spoke to britney greiner. she is safe. she is on the plane. she flies home. britney gramer was detained

at sheremetyevo airport in february. when passing customs in the green corridor , an american who flew in from new york, attracted the attention of a service dog during the inspection of luggage, found a vape liquid with hash oil in the grammer court. he pleaded guilty and said he knew it was impossible to bring drugs to russia, but allegedly in a hurry. accidentally threw them into the luggage in the us immediately deployed. biden demanded the whole company in her defense to release the american woman, without any conditions. the white house then said that the united states was even ready to take extraordinary measures, without specifying. which ones exactly? yes, in the end we agreed to an exchange democratic public and close griner. people are now praising the white house. i am overwhelmed with emotions, but most importantly, emotions about the immense gratitude to president biden and all his administrations. he has already said that these negotiations were very difficult. and it really is. so this is the second exchange this year in april at home. he returned, the former russian pilot

konstantin yaroshenko was arrested in liberia in may 2010, allegedly for smuggling he was later illegally taken to the united states where he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. bud exchange, grainer. i was very pleased with yaroshenko , they returned me to my homeland. how well him too, because he, like me, was wrongfully convicted and spent much more time than i did in the us, so i spent 12 years. he spent 14 years on a fabricated and falsified case, just like me, fabricated by the american services. because everything was done like a blueprint. however, not everyone is happy with this outcome, for example, former trump national security advisor john bolton called the exchange of surrender. the united states believes that washington should do everything. solve only by force. however, tough rhetoric talk. now very much needed, he said that he was not opposed to stand as a candidate for the us presidential election stanislav vasilchenko to lead. well

, now the appeal of the russian ambassador to the united states regarding the release of viktor dear viktor anatolyevich we are glad that the moment has come when you were able to go home to your native land. congratulations on your return home and family reunification. you spent a long 12 years behind the walls of the american conditions in which our citizens are kept in prisons. usa to ordinary people. it's hard to imagine knowing about the most powerful physical and psychological pressure on you and that's it. you endured this with dignity, demonstrating strength of character and fortitude. everyone who followed your fate, dear viktor anatolyevich, and most of them in our country, are well aware that even far from your homeland you

experienced in connection with the events associated with a special military operation. empathized with the fate of our soldiers in translation. this fact is an example of the fact that the difficult conditions in which you were in america did not catch did not weaken your love for the fatherland. we are sincerely glad that russian efforts for your release have been crowned with success. with all my heart i wish you well-being and happiness, now until freedom in our beautiful and great russia. we want to assure you that we will continue our energetic work to free all russians who have ended up in american prisons, we will not calm down until all our compatriots return home. and russia has made a lot of efforts to protect its

citizen and get him out of an american prison was noted by human rights commissioners tatyana moskalkova. our state fought for the release of viktor anatolyevich ministry of foreign affairs with an unfounded and unfair accusation viktor bud was born in 1967 in tajikistan in eighty-four, he graduated from the kazan suvorov military school, and the following year he served in the soviet army, after which he entered the red banner military institute of the ussr ministry of defense in 1991 he retired from the army opened his first company and became an aviation broker. in the ninety-second year he left for south africa, where he took up the organization.

the airline of victor bout at caricature airport was involved in the transport of flowers for household goods and legitimate military cargo, as well as the transport of french and belgian military peacekeepers in 2002. belgium became the first state to accuse a russian of smuggling diamonds and money laundering and announced that he had to curtail his business and return to russia in 2008 under the guise colombian rebels were allegedly lured to bangkok to conclude a deal for the supply of modern weapons and made dictafo commenting on the buddhas. which then became evidence in an american court on march 6, 2008. bout was detained by the thai police, a warrant was issued for him by a thai court on charges of helping colombian terrorists, who pretended to be american agents, the thai authorities extradited as if in the united states only in november 2010, almost a year later, a us lawsuit against bout was launched before that. he's about he spent 15 months in complete isolation in solitary

confinement in 2011 during a search at the headquarters in the libyan apartment, intelligence in tripoli, documents were found indicating bot's connections with libyan officials in 2003. at the same time, he would admit his participation in the transport of weapons in a hot spot, but denied trading as such on november 2, 2011, the jury unanimously delivered a verdict of guilty to the bot. booth found guilty by jury of conspiracy to kill american citizens conspiracy to kill american officials individuals conspiring to sell missiles and conspiring to support terrorism through cooperation with a colombian group. on april 5 , 2012, the federal court in new york sentenced the bottle to twenty-five years in prison, as if they had been transferred to a brooklyn general security prison in a block for prisoners with unstable mentality and suicidal tendencies the russian foreign ministry condemned the verdict called the case as if unfounded, biased and politically ordered and promised to take measures to return as if to russia after 5 years of stay.

in the special blot, it was possible to achieve transfers to the block of the usual strict regime. the prisoner got the opportunity to call his relatives twice a week, and in 2019, for the first time after the sentencing , buts could meet with his wife and daughter on december 8 , 2022. the russian foreign ministry reported that viktor bout was returned to his homeland and exchanged for an american. britney greiner admin took place today in abu dhabi. so the exchange negotiations took place in conditions of increased secrecy, as the wife of the buta said 2 days ago, not victor himself, not his family, knew nothing about elizaveta khantsov's first emotions. american britney grimer today a few minutes ago, they heard the news that they have been waiting for almost 15 years, mom and wife. victor buta still do not believe that they will soon be able to hug a loved one. well, we talked with victor on tuesday. he didn't know anything yet. it was the day before yesterday. e, today i was supposed to call,

just to me, here we were just waiting for a call at 8:00 pm. here, but see you. i'll hug, just instead of calling in this house, viktor bout has lived 7 years since 2001 until the arrest. repairs are in full swing, but the family is trying to preserve the atmosphere familiar to the owner as much as possible. the library keeps the memory of what the world was like in the years when the businessman was arrested , here is the book of the historian yuri as if the namesake, and the political structure of ukraine in 2003, dictionaries, books on oriental culture of the fanatic and a lot of literature in foreign languages ​​cabinet. they did not manage to return viktor but. the state in which the owner left it in 2008, but, of course, all things were carefully preserved here and his music library and of course, the souvenirs that he brought from all over the world, for example, such a map of africa for many years of persecution and accusations of illegal trade viktor butuv was lucky enough to hug his mother pilot yaroshenko was so unlucky his mother died before

his son returned viktor botha was arrested in thailand in 2008, as in in the case of konstantin yaroshenko, this was a planned us action that considered it possible to detain people in third countries, then there were extraditions and in 2012 a sentence of 25 years in prison, the businessman became interested in graphics paint portraits in bed at home, will return in the status of members of the union of artists of russia unfortunately , the last, and the last, probably, 5 years. he was not able to draw because he was transferred back to a strict regime of detention, and he was no longer able to do anything. that is, these works were all done before the eighteenth year, the idea came to do it. exhibition, but i can say that in april the exhibition is already planned with free admission in st. petersburg in the mansion. uh, bryullov on the makarov embankment and thank god the author will be able to the wife and daughter of viktor bout himself will be able to attend to open his exhibition, the last time they visited him personally in 2019, they received a visa with difficulty, but

businessmen regularly visited russian diplomats, including ambassador anatoly antonov , for many years work on the return of the russian home was carried out at all levels thanks to this president. i think vladimir vladimirovich putin how grateful i am to the low maternal bow of the ministry of foreign affairs, headed by sergei viktorovich lavrov. yes they give hope motherland has not forgotten them all, their motherland has not forgotten everything, a low bow to seven employees victor is holding a bootlet in summer clothes in his hands, he only has a light jacket and a folder with papers . shaved, but his face immediately shows how much he was exhausted by the years of imprisonment, the russians measure the pressure in order to understand whether he will endure the flight after some time refueling in makhachkala and victor will call his mother and his wife, they all met. it would be fine, don't worry, everything is fine. i love you very much. come on. well, listen, everything, how are you in general,

how is the flight? how do you not die at all did you eat? don't worry, i'll tell you everything when we meet. everything is fine. okay, well, you see, we took this call with you today. you see, on tuesday we talked, apparently, then it all started spinning. yes, well, well, that's all then, we meet you. come on, come on, son. until the meeting, this conversation takes place at the moment when, on the way to the airport, the family of viktor bout stops by the state duma to meet with maria butina, that they managed to fry the cutlets, we won’t win, and we even managed to cop yesterday. cook. so here is the deputy, like no one else knows what it means to justice in the american way. i'm just incredibly happy for my family, and i talked with my father, mother , and grandmother, and they all say hello to the family, so they say that this is the same happiness in terms of

size as we had when we were 3 years old back around the same time. they met me at the airport, the family was bringing victor buddha his winter jacket and other warm clothes, a very thin husband and wife's son. mom did not buy in advance. they didn’t want to jinx the businessman’s daughter elizabeth now business trip. and of course, that in the coming days he will return home to celebrate the new year with his parents for the first time in so many years. there will be the longest and happiest holidays on the old new year january 13, victor will celebrate his birthday at home because of this lame alexander antonov nikita shchuchkin together. so, a plane landed in moscow, on which businessman viktor bout returned to his homeland; he spent 14 years in an american prison, on frankly far-fetched and unproven charges, he was exchanged for an american woman. britney granner as a result of long and painstaking negotiations with relatives. victor's work meets our correspondent. boris ivanin. he is now getting in direct contact with the boris

welcome studio. here we are waiting for all the details. what is the atmosphere like right now uhm queen at the airport? yes, welcome anton. really. we are now on the airfield of the capital's vnukovo airport, where just a few minutes ago the long-awaited plane landed, in which the russian viktor bout is located, and now this the plane is towed by a tractor here to the parking lot a little later. we will show live footage of the meeting between viktor bout and his wife and his mother, who is also here in the airfield and is preparing to meet her husband and son. and this is a long-awaited meeting after so many years of separation, because, uh, in 2008 , viktor bout was detained in thailand on an absolutely far-fetched charge. it was a politically motivated and completely fabricated affair by washington. and this has already been

discussed more than once, including on our air, and now, finally, the denouement of this case. close remains literally a few minutes before viktor stupits arrives on russian soil, he is already in his homeland and this is the main result of his 14 years, which he spent in dungeons and in a foreign land. far from home. away from your country. but all this time, russia remembered him and fought for his return. this path was really long in every sense, including in the most direct way, since he traveled from the usa where victor would be in custody here in russia. well, if you add up all the time spent in the air for almost a day from the state illinois first had a trans-atlantic flight to british manchester there before refueling and only then the plane with victor bout from manchester left the uk for abu dhabi and it was there, and

last day in the capital of the united arab emirates, the russians were exchanged for victor boutan american basketball player britney granar, a. which i will remind. here in russia she was convicted of drug smuggling and possession. she was detained in february of this year at the capital sheremetyevo airport oh, the luggage was found hash oil. this oil is legalized in the usa is strictly prohibited, but for distribution in our country and for smuggling. by the way, greiner fully admitted his guilt. she received nine years in prison and managed to serve her sentence, in fact , only a few months. and of course, a completely different story, and the opposite is absolutely the case of viktor bout, who a has been in prison in the united states since 2010. after he was extradited from thailand to the usa in violation of all, but also thai american laws. look at the plane

relatives are here. here is alla and heavenly with the current spouse. and excuse me, mother and wife of viktor and maria putin, deputies of the state duma of russia, who, and not by hearsay, know what american justice is, which itself has been in american dungeons for more than 15 months on absolutely the same inflatable charge alla yuryevna i understand that all eyes are now turned to the side plane, but a few words, perhaps, still do not believe that this happened, to be honest, the soul is some kind of emptiness. well, i don't know, probably because of that so much has been experienced. i still don't believe. tears are tears in your eyes, and the paradise is changing to you, too, let’s approach the kuzmic project, but, and the mother’s heart, of course, it is now absolutely e completely worried about her son. and, of course, here uh, it's hard to give any comments. at such an exciting moment, the

closest people, after so many years of separation, will finally meet and hug viktor bout, and maria valeryevna, i will ask you to comment. here today ah comment, i understand, here uh, john bolton we heard. this is now on our air the former trump's adviser in our safe place said that such an exchange of nabuta is the surrender of america. how can you comment on his statement. this is a heartfelt confession to the chatterbox of his support. this is america's capitulation because we pushed through our demands and speaks from a position of strength. it 's great. well, are we waiting now? just a few more seconds and victor will appear here. right now. already lowered ladder let's get a little closer. look valeryevich but you are worried. yes, it's unrealistic to worry, such the feeling that i have everything anew, like deja vu 3 years ago. i, in fact, returned the same way, but he

flew on a flight on an airplane along with rice and an airplane. i'm just incredibly happy for the family and god bless them just rest of health, and you did not leave your own. alla yuryevna how long have you not seen victor when you last saw the last time you saw each other, there, we saw him, and in november of the nineteenth year. exciting exciting seconds of this expectation, and now, and we are asked to step aside a little. and well, believe me literally more a few seconds and victor is here, now he appears already and now he appears already at the door. come on , let's show. this is a live homecoming with flowers for mom and wife. let's get a little closer. well,

these shots probably do not need any comments. the first joyful embrace in so many years, the last time alla saw victor 3 years ago but then it was a short date. in prison dungeons in america and now here is viktor bout in russia with his family and friends along with all of us with everyone who expressed words of support. thank you very much, we got it. well, sort of got there. exactly this. most importantly, we, of course, congratulate you and warmly. welcome here in russia and how did you even know that here you are, but they are going to return to your homeland, well, in the middle of the night, they just got up and said, get ready and that's it. such special preliminary information was not even where you were being taken. you were not told anything, it

was clear that the situation was like this. how were you released? here with some words. i know that you are in prison became such a hero among the american prisoners there was no blog around 3:00 at night, so everything was still sort of closed, so even to say goodbye to no one a little. well what are you going to do? now here, being in russia, first of all , let's leave victor well to communicate with his family. we are waiting for you on our broadcast. ah, already tomorrow in the studio of russia 24. and it's hard to say anything when such a meeting after so many years of waiting for 14 years, i repeat viktor bout was. far from the motherland and in 2008 he was detained. ah, in thailand absolutely a far-fetched accusation, moreover, in the usa already, when he was extradited to the united states and when

the trial began, the jury court was there, but he still found viktor bout guilty of those points that were presented to him by american justice. this, let me remind you, by the way, is not an arms trade, but a conspiracy with the aim of future e, arms supplies. that is, this is absolutely, but the intention is unconfirmed and the federal judge, who was led by viktor buta. and of course, she could not go against the will of the jury, but nevertheless assigned him the maximum in e. i apologize as little as possible. and the punishment for these items is 25 years in prison, yes, the minimum term. these are the laws in the usa and half of this term viktor bout spent a very long time in the usa . and finally, it took place anton and yes, thank you boris.

well, congratulations to viktor bot to his family and friends on finally returning to his homeland exclusive shots on our air boris vanin showed us everything. he saw how victor would set foot on moscow land and spoke in detail about his return, which he finally waited for at home to this topic. we will of course be back soon. sberbank presents a loan with the lowest rate over the past 10 years of four and a half percent. apply for a loan to sberbank and return one and a half percent of the rate with bonuses from bers thank you monthly upon
