3:02 pm
director of the foreign intelligence service, well, i would ask you, in addition to the planned current events of recent times, issues have become known to discuss our country's most important interests, the speakers, respectively, the minister of foreign affairs and some details of the negotiation process on the largest international prisoner exchange between russia and the west since the cold war. let me remind you that 10 people returned to moscow the night before. on the morning of the plane, they were personally met by vladimir putin. it is already known that negotiations on the exchange were conducted mainly through the fsb, and here are the details shared by presidential press secretary dmitry peskov today. negotiations on this complex exchange were conducted through the fsb and the cia; these were the main line along which the agreement was actually reached. children of illegal immigrants, intelligence officers, who arrived yesterday. they found out that they
3:03 pm
were russian only when the plane took off from ankara, before that they didn’t know that they were russian and that they were related to our country, when the children went down the plane, they don’t speak russian, you’re just like putin for them they were greeted in spanish, he said “boinas nochas.” they asked their parents yesterday who he was and was meeting him, that is , they didn’t even know who putin was, but this is how illegal immigrants actually work and make such sacrifices. for the sake of their work, for the sake of dedication to their work, when these illegal immigrants were in prison, they were deprived of the opportunity to constantly see their children, there was a real threat, if they remained there, deprivation of parental rights, according to one of the gru employees, the americans, of course, tried to influence this gru employee who was imprisoned there , they found the father of this employee here, and a telephone was arranged. call, and during the phone
3:04 pm
call the father, contrary to what was expected of him, actually said: “son, you are doing everything right, hold on.” krasikov, he is an employee of the federal service security, he served in alpha, and it is interesting that when he served in alpha, he served together with some members of the presidential security guard, who now work in the presidential security guard and who, naturally, they also greeted each other yesterday when they saw each other . well, and, probably, still taking this opportunity, we, of course, must give the highest assessment of the interaction that was carried out with the kgb, with the ministry of foreign affairs of belarus and the assistance that president lukashenko personally provided in drawing up such a complex chain, express appreciation for this. well, right now the lawyer of one of the exchanged russians, roman seleznev, igor litvak, is in direct contact. igor
3:05 pm
borisovich, hello, and first of all , tell us when you personally became aware of the exchange and what is the role of a lawyer here? well, hello, the first rumors are that there is an exchange. may take place, i received yesterday, this is when we or the day before yesterday, this is when we checked the website of the federal prison service of americans, america, and we saw that there was no novel in this system, but in general we did not know that there will be an exchange, no one told us about it, but we have been working on the exchange for about a year, starting last september, and i was contacted by lawyers in america who... represented an american serving time in russia and they told me that they want to organize an exchange, they believed that my client, roman seleznev, would be an ideal candidate for this, and after that we put together a whole package, we went to the state debt, that
3:06 pm
is, our goal was what, we wanted that if the exchange took place, the novel was included in it, and for this purpose a roman sent me a certain piece of work...
3:07 pm
it was done because without it a person can’t get out of prison, so you already started talking about the fact that after all , the exchange procedure started in advance, and how much time did it take for everything this is the exchange preparation itself, how long does it take, it’s weeks, months, well, it’s hard to say, because no one contacted us, no one said anything to roman, as i said before, we worked with the americans, with the state department. i always told them that in my opinion there were three main reasons why roman is a good candidate for exchange: firstly, how he was arrested, how this is already public information, roman was simply kidnapped, he was simply grabbed at the airport in the maldives in july 2014, dragged onto
3:08 pm
a plane, taken away, there was no process, there was no trial, even the state, the government of the maldives did not know about this, the secret service, we later found out during... for many serious financial crimes than roman, they received two to three times less after the jury trial, and of course the third reason is roman’s very poor health, as has already been written a lot, he was wounded in a very severe territorial attack in 2012 in morocco,
3:09 pm
he had a large injury on his head, he had a metal plate, so for these three reasons, of course the novel had to be exchanged, i was sure that.. if roman had not returned to his homeland, he would have died in prison in america, so many thanks to the russian state, personally to president vladimir putin, for returning roman, because they actually saved his life. let's remind you exactly what they were accused of roman seleznev in the usa, let us recall the backstory, the speech, as we have already begun to say, it all started in the maldives, and 27 years, yes, if i am not mistaken, that was the period you...
3:10 pm
but were there any chances, including taking into account health , to be released early, or maybe a pardon for him, could, could, could there be a conversation about this? you know, when we... when he was sentenced to 27 years in prison, we, of course, then filed an appeal, and the appeal was rejected, after which we also filed a petition in court to have him released on the grounds his health, and we attached hundreds of pages of his medical history to this petition, and unfortunately, the court also rejected this, so in my opinion, an exchange was the only way to return him to... in general, for the first time , the question about the likelihood of an exchange, when was he started
3:11 pm
to rise? well, look, officially the american government didn’t tell us anything, all we did was we went to the state debt, we worked with them, we met with them, i sent them documents, and we simply asked them what if in the future there will be an exchange, please include in this exchange novel and... this is the basis on which we want it to be included, we, as i already said, all three of these reasons, medicine everything else, but we never have feedback about what the exchange will be when, it was, i understand correctly, by the way, that no medical care corresponding to what was needed was provided in american prisons, well, look, american, american prisons are famous for the fact that medical care there is very bad, it almost does not exist there, and although, despite
3:12 pm
the fact that the novel, his health became poor before he was arrested, it, of course, in american prisons became worse and worse, because he could not receive the medicine that he deserves, yes, of course, there is still such aspect, now whether the novel can move unhindered. in general, i’m in america, i think that he doesn’t have any more criminal cases, and even
3:13 pm
if there were statutes of limitations, they would have ended long ago, so i don’t, and i think from other countries too, because how much has already passed time is 10 years, so again i can’t guarantee, but as i understand it, well, as i know, he shouldn’t have any more problems with america, and with other countries, i think too, because the statute of limitations is well...
3:14 pm
i i know that there are also americans in russia who stayed, so we certainly hope that in the future there will be more exchanges so that people can of course return home. yes, igor borisovich, thank you, let me remind you that the lawyer of one of the exchanged russians, roman seleznev, igor litvak, was in direct contact with us. well, released the day before american journalist evan gershkovich, the wall street journal names. a real hero together with the most unlucky american, about how america
3:15 pm
met its citizens, a report from our own correspondent in the usa, dmitry melnikov. in violation of his own daily routine, which does not involve such late events, president biden still came to the andrews military base to meet this flight from ankara. kamela haris is also here, and she, as a presidential candidate, receives laurels. his personal merit. three us citizens, paul willan, evan gershkovich and alsou kurmashovo reached america without incident. and these are the very first shots after they were transferred to the american side in ankara with the stars and stripes flag and already on the plane on the way home. at this moment, the white house is already
3:16 pm
convening the press for an emergency statement from the president. biden has relatives nearby. usa released as part of the exchange deal. such transactions come with strict requirements and there are never any guarantees. nothing is more important to me than protecting americans at home while abroad, so we will continue to work for the release of all illegally detained americans around the world. this deal would not have been possible without our allies, germany, poland, slovenia, norway and turkey. they all showed activity and were with us. and they made a bold decision. released prisoners held legally in their countries and provided logistical support to bring americans home. however, the biden administration itself has already made the current big deal with russia the most important a factor in the election struggle, presenting the exchange as the liberation of americans, germans and russians from captivity.
3:17 pm
the american press does not even mention the reasons why these people were detained and convicted in russia, for example, not a word about the fact that wall street journal reporter evan gershkovich was detained in march 23 in yekaterinburg, when he was collecting information about the work of russian defense enterprises, in particular the ural carriage plant. gershkovich was interested in the work schedule of the enterprise and information about the military equipment produced there. technology. gershkovich claimed that he was just preparing a report, but for some reason he spent several hours exploring the area around security facilities, for which he was accused of espionage and sentenced. he is sentenced to 16 years in a maximum security penal colony. former marine paul willan was also convicted of spying in russia. in addition to american citizenship, willan, who is called a businessman in the usa, for some reason has passports of great britain, ireland and canada. willan was detained in 2018 in moscow. as it turned out, this businessman is actually a professional an american intelligence officer, in russia,
3:18 pm
which he regularly visited, willan tried to recruit employees of the ministry of defense and... the fsb. he served his sentence in the mordovian colony and waited a long time for an exchange. according to russian laws, he would have been released from prison only in 2036. but he found himself free and returned to the united states after he, along with others, was pardoned by decree of the russian president. another us citizen is alsou kurmashova, a journalist recognized as undesirable by the anti-russian organization radio liberty. she lived permanently in the czech republic, but in may flew to russia on the twenty-third. in october of the same year, she was accused of refusing to register as a foreign agent; in december, another case was opened against kurmasheva for spreading fakes about the russian army. last month, she was sentenced to 6 and a half years in prison, while observers are wondering what is connected with such an unprecedented exchange of prisoners in the white house, they are already answering: it’s all about the personal merits
3:19 pm
of the leaders of the current administration. both president biden and... vice president haris made the return of those unjustly convicted americans' absolute priority, in this particular case vice president haris actually had the opportunity to speak with chancellor scholz earlier this year at the munich security conference, where she discussed this issue with him. what exactly is the merit of kamal and harris in the prisoner exchange case is a big question, but in the election race everything goes into the piggy bank. she and her short comment immediately after the first messages from ankara. turned into a campaign speech. as vice president, it has been an honor to serve book-side with our president joe biden to bring home over seventy americans over the last 3 and a half years. and we will never waver in our commitment to bring home every american who has been unlawfully detained or detained. this is my solemn obligation to my countrymen,
3:20 pm
which i will always honor. at the same time , washington does not hide the fact that in order for the exchange to take place, it was necessary to put pressure on official berlin to germany. as part of this operation, 13 a person came to cologne airport to meet the plane from chancellor olaf scholz, while germany did not officially pardon russian vadim krasikov, but deported him. in close and trusting cooperation with the united states and european partners, after months of confidential negotiations with the russian side, it has now been possible to achieve the release of 13 people who were illegally detained. russian diplomats in the united states remind that there are still dozens of our compatriots in american prisons, and russia will continue to...
