Evan Gershkovich , Paul Whelan and Alsu Kurmasheva met by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at Andrews air force Base near Washington DC .

They were among 16 American , Russian dissident and German prisoners freed by Russia , in exchange for eight Russians freed by the US , Germany , Norway , Slovenia and Poland .

Putin personally met the Russian prisoners with a red carpet reception at Moscow ’s Vnukovo airport.

Navalny was meant to be a part of the deal before his death in February .

Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in prison for espionage last month .

He pleaded not guilty and the Wall Street Journal and the US government have dismissed the charges as nonsense.

Putin has long made it clear that he was open to an exchange but insisted that Krasikov was his No 1 target.
