Who are the Russians freed under historic prisoner swap?
Friday, 2 August 2024 A "sleeper cell" couple, prolific cybercriminals and an assassin are among those released in a major prisoner swap with the West.
The highly speculated Russia-US prisoner swap also includes Russian-US journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, former US marine Paul Whelan, and Russian-British politician and journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza.
In a bold move ahead of critical peace talks in Istanbul, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenges Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet face-to-face, daring him to engage in direct discussions for the first time in years. As the world watches, Putin lashes out at Ukraine’s forced conscription tactics, accusing Kyiv of "snatching people like dogs in the streets." Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to volunteer in large numbers, according to Putin, who proudly claims that 50,000-60,000 Russians sign up willingly every month.
