Anton Gerashchenko @Gersashchenko_en
The largest prisoner exchange of Russian political prisoners and the West since the Cold War may take place on the border between Russia and Poland.

The An-148 airplane with the flight number RA-61727, which had earlier landed in Russia's Kaliningrad, flew back to Moscow.

This plane has already been used in prisoner exchanges between Russia and other countries before.

There are reports that the exchange has/will take place today.
