24 prisoners were exchanged in Ankara, 16 released by Russia and 8 by US and allies. Among them were 3 Americans, including Wall Street Journal scribe Evan Gershkovich.
Gershkovich went on trial last month in the city of Yekaterinburg. He was the first U.S. journalist arrested on spying charges in Russia since the Cold War.
Gershkovich, a US citizen, was arrested in March on espionage charges after Russia's FSB security service accused him of collecting military secrets in the city of Yekaterinburg.
Russia's FSB security service said on 30 March it had arrested Evan Gershkovich, accusing him of gathering information about a Russian defence company that was a state secret.
Evan Gershkovich, 31, may be first US journalist to be picked up by Russia for espionage since Cold War, but there have been other similar accusations between both countries in past.
