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.
Despite growing passenger volume, 11 out of 14 carriers reported losses in 2023-24. IndiGo recorded profit of Rs 8,167 crore, which reduced to Rs 7.253 crore in 2024-25.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
