The German government played a key role in Thursday’s prisoner swap between Russia and the West, in which Moscow released 16 prisoners in exchange for eight Russians held in the West.
The main figure in the swap, which involved several countries, was Vadim Krasikov, a Russian convicted of killing a former Chechen militant in Berlin in 2019.
Russia had approached the United States as early as 2022 with an offer to release US prisoners in exchange for Krasikov, who was serving a life sentence in Germany. However, because Krasikov was not an American prisoner, US officials did not think the offer was serious.

A convicted murderer killed a Chechen terrorist when he came back from the mosque. Russia requested extradition of him. Germany preferred him in Geemamy
Putler is short of convicts, so he would see this as a good deal.
Thats not Putin, its a double. Look at the ears. Ears don't lie, they are like a fingerprint. Putins ears are more rounded at the top, wider and have a less connecting lobe.
Only time the food was better in prison.
