Scholz commented on the large-scale prisoner exchange between Russia and Western countries.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the decision to exchange Russian murderer Vadim Krasikov, sentenced to life imprisonment, was adopted in order to protect “the life and health of innocent people imprisoned in Russia.”
He thus commented on the large-scale prisoner exchange between Russia and Western countries, reports Tagesschau.
“It was not an easy decision for anyone to deport a murderer sentenced to life imprisonment after several years of imprisonment,” Scholz said.
Scholz said that in this case the state's interest in executing the sentence had to be weighed “against the risk to the life and health of innocent people imprisoned in Russia and unjustly politically imprisoned.”
Vino noted, that the decisive factor for Berlin was that “we have obligations to protect German citizens, as well as solidarity with the United States.”
Recall that earlier it was reported that CNN reported on Harris's role in the prisoner exchange.
In addition, we also reported that Navalny was planned to be exchanged as part of the agreement with the Russian Federation.
