Five freed in Russia-Lithuania-Norway exchange

Russia has taken part in a co-ordinated spy swap with Norway and Lithuania. Additionally, Lithuanians had to change their laws. This deal took place at Lithuania's southern border with Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and involved two Russians, a Norwegian and two Lithuanians. This operation took weeks to come to a clear consensus. The most famous of the men is Frode Berg, a Norwegian ex-border guard. His case became a cause celebre in Norway after her was found with naval documents that were handed to him by a former Russian policeman.
