Watch how the night unfolded

A historic prisoner swap has freed 24 prisoners from seven countries – three of whom have now returned to the US.

In the largest East-West prisoner exchange since the Cold War, journalist Evan Gershkovich, marine Paul Whelan and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva were returned safely to US soil.

President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris were on the runway to meet the freed prisoners as they disembarked.

In exchange, one of the prisoners returned to Russia was Vadim Krasikov, a suspected Russian agent who was serving a life sentence for murder in Germany.
