The Kremlin on Friday said that at least three Russians freed in a landmark prisoner exchange were undercover Russian agents, a rare public admission into the work of Moscow's top-secret security services. Moscow said Vadim Krasikov -- who was serving life in prison in Germany for the 2019 brazen murder of a former Chechen separatist commander in broad daylight in a Berlin park -- was an elite operative with Russia's FSB security agency. Krasikov was one of the central figures in Thursday's historic multi-country exchange, with Putin having publicly lobbied for his release in a bid to get the deal over the line in the face of hesitation from Berlin. The Kremlin almost never reveals details about its sprawling intelligence agencies, but it confirmed Friday that at least two others freed in the deal were also long-term undercover agents stationed in the European Union. Russian President Vladimir Putin has portrayed them as returning heroes, personally thanking them for their service to the "Motherland" and promising to shower them with state awards. For in-depth analysis on the largest US-Russia prisoner swap in post-Soviet history, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Melinda Haring, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center.

In August 1945 the United States dropped two atomic bombs on two Japanese cities. These bombings remain the only time nuclear weapons have ever been used in a conflict. The two bombs caused immense devastation, but there was actually meant to be a third bomb. Fortunately, Japan surrendered just days before the bomb was going to be used, sparing tens of thousands of lives. However, while this bomb didn't claim any lives, its plutonium core did, killing two US physicists, earning it the name "demon core." It's easy to assume that the plan all along was for the Manhattan Project,...

Sunlight-photosynthesizing organisms like plants and algae have long been believed to be the Earth's original producers of oxygen. But now, researchers have found evidence of a natural O2 factory that needs neither the Sun nor the lifeforms that harness its power. The source is a chemical reaction taking place in rocks lying on the lightless seafloor thousands of feet beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, releasing what the researchers have dubbed "dark oxygen."
