The swap of American, Russian and German prisoners is the largest such exchange since the Cold War.
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan were released by Russia as part of a major, multi-nation swap of two dozen prisoners.
Eight Russians, including the spy and convicted hitman Vadim Kraiskov, are being returned to Russia from the United States, Slovenia, Norway, Poland and Germany. "Today's exchange will be historic," said White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan during a call with reporters. Whelan has been serving his own 16-year sentence for alleged espionage in Russia after being sentenced in 2020, two years after his arrest in Moscow.
