Jailed US Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and ex-US marine Paul Whelan are among 26 prisoners from the United States, Russia and a number of their allies being freed in a major exchange, Turkey’s presidency says. It said 10 prisoners, including two minors, had been moved to Russia , 13 to Germany and three to the United States. Also involved in the swap were Poland, Slovenia, Norway and Belarus.
Among those included in Thursday’s swap was Vadim Krasikov, a colonel in the Russian FSB security service serving life in Germany for murdering an exiled Chechen-Georgian dissident in a Berlin park, whom President Vladimir Putin had indicated he wanted back. Rico Krieger, a German sentenced to death in Belarus on terrorism charges, was pardoned on Tuesday by President Alexander Lukashenko, a Putin ally.
