A historic prisoner swap between Russia and the West has brought 8 Russians home, including a couple convicted of spying in Slovenia and their two children. President Vladimir Putin personally greeted the returnees at Moscow's airport. The exchange freed 24 prisoners held in six countries, with 16 from the West and 8 from Russia. The swap marks a rare diplomatic breakthrough between Russia and Western nations. The returned prisoners were met with applause and flowers as they stepped off the plane, reunited with their families after years apart.
