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.
Many US reporters left Russia after President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into Ukraine last year – and more have left since the detention of Gershkovich.
Russia has presented no evidence to support the case against Gershkovich, which is proceeding in secret because Russia says the case materials are confidential.
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.
