The United States and Russia have agreed to a major swap of prisoners on Thursday, according to ABC News.
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich stands listening to the verdict in a glass cage of a courtroom inside the building of"Palace of justice," in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on Friday, July 19, 2024. A Russian court convicted Gershkovich on espionage charges that his employer and the U.S. have rejected as fabricated. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison after a secretive and rapid trial in the country's highly politicized legal system.
Gershkovich, 32, was previously sentenced to 16 years on espionage charges by a Russian Court just last month. Whelan has been detained since 2018, according to ABC News.
