Two Russian spies have been pardoned by Lithuania's president. This could pave the way for Russia to release two Lithuanians and a Norwegian through an exchange of spies.

Russia several hours ago has said it will respond similarly to Lithuania's announcement.

For several weeks Norway, Russia and Lithuania have examined the three-way exchange.

Russians Nikolai Filipchenko and Sergei Moiseenko were imprisoned in the Baltic State two years ago, writes the BBC.

Norway has tried to secure the release of Fronte Berg, who was arrested in Moscow in 2017.

Lithuania also has two citizens in Russian prisons who have been convicted of spying.

Yevgeny Matatis and Aristidas Tamosaitis were imprisoned in 2016.

Lithuania was a former Soviet republic, but since independence in 1990 it has become a member of the EU and NATO, Periscopi conveys.
