In Russia, the Kremlin said President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree pardoning four convicted foreign spies: Alexander Zaporozhsky, Gennady Vasilenko, Sergei Skripal and Igor Sutyagin so that they can be exchanged for the 10 US defendants.
The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that the spy swap exchange being conducted by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service and the CIA was conducted in the context of overall improvement of USA and Russian ties.
Igor Sutyagin is a scientist convicted of passing Russian nuclear secrets to the CIA through the UK.
The 10 Russian agents, including tabloid sensation Anna Chapman [Kushchenko], freed by the United States are part of the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.
Анна Чапман [Anna Chapman] Stalingrad stunner, Anya Kushchenko is the daughter of former KGB operative Vasily Kushchenko. AKA Anna Chapman, the pretty dangerous operative is accused of being a Russian spy in the USA.
The skillful deceiver was previously married to a Brit, David Chapman, whom she bailed on after receiving her green card. This has brought MI-5 into the investigation of the extraordinary Russian agent’s London activities.
The Russian born Анна Чапман [Anna Chapman] 28 year old red-head suspected spy is more Austin Powers than James Bond. If a sex operative, her code name would be swallows. Ms Kushchenko bought a cellphone under the name Irine Kustov and used 99 Fake Street as her address. See what I mean?
Yeah baby, yeah. Anna Chapman a brunette by photo and a redhead by video. Oh behave.
