Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has confirmed the country's participation in a large-scale prisoner exchange between Russia and the West.
His words are quoted by the NTB agency.
According to Støre, thanks to Norway's efforts, "a significant number of Russian and foreign human rights activists and journalists who have been imprisoned in Russia for a long period of time can now travel and enjoy freedom."
"This is thanks to a prisoner exchange involving Mikhail Mikushin, who was arrested in Tromsø in October 2022 on espionage charges," the Norwegian Prime Minister confirmed.
