Germany intends to return Rico Krieger, who was sentenced to death in Belarus but later pardoned by Alexander Lukashenko.

In response, Germany will return Vadim Krasikov, who was convicted in Germany for the murder of Chechen commander Zelimkhan Khangoshvili in Berlin in 2019.

It is also reported that the US plans to return Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Russia for espionage.
