俄罗斯可能准备释放以替美国充当间谍的罪名监禁的一名科学家，换取美国释放最近拘留的俄国间谍嫌疑人。
被监禁的俄罗斯科学家苏佳金的律师星期三说，这名科学家将被释放，用他交换据称为俄罗斯从事间谍活动的人。
苏佳金的兄弟说，美国建议交换间谍，美联社的报导说，美国法庭已经推迟了就三名俄罗斯间谍嫌疑人的听证。
美国和俄国的官员都还没有就报导中所说的交易作任何评论。
现在还不清楚，是否会用苏佳金一个人交换全部十名俄国间谍嫌疑人，还是只其中特定一些人。
Russia may be preparing to release a scientist jailed on charges of spying for the United States, in exchange for the release of suspected Russian agents recently detained in the U.S.
The lawyer for imprisoned Russian scientist Igor Sutyagin said Wednesday he is being released as part of an exchange for members of the alleged Russian spy ring.
Sutyagin’s brother said Washington proposed the swap, and the Associated Press reports that a U.S. court hearing for three members of the alleged Russian spy ring has been postponed.
Neither U.S. nor Russian officials have commented on the reported deal.
It is not clear if Sutyagin would be swapped for all 10 suspected Russian agents, or just specific ones.
