Igor Sutyagin, a Russian arms expert who was part of a spy swap with the U.S. earlier this month, said he’ll return home from the U.K., and called for continued support of scientists still jailed in Russia for espionage.
“I’m collecting myself, building up my strength, and I very much want to see my wife, daughters, parents and brother,” said Sutyagin, convicted in 2004 of spying for the U.S. and U.K. Sutyagin, who spent 11 years behind bars, said he’s not sure when he’ll return home, “but it will definitely happen.”
