A British citizen freed in the biggest prisoner exchange with Russia since the Cold War has met with Joe Biden at the White House after returning to the US.
Vladimir Kara-Murza was serving a 25-year sentence for treason and had spent over two years imprisoned in Russia when he was freed along with 23 others at the start of August.
Posting a picture of Mr Kara-Murza, his wife and children, the US president said his family was “whole once more”.
The freed dissident told Sky News he had no idea he was part of the prisoner swap and thought he was being led to his death as he was transferred from the Siberian prison where he was being held.
