Historic Prisoner Exchange: Gershkovich and Whelan Repatriated to U.S. After Russian Detention
U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich and ex-U.S. Marine Paul Whelan returned to the United States on Thursday, hours after being freed from Russian detention in the biggest prisoner exchange between the two countries since the Cold War.,The White House said it negotiated the trade with Russia, Germany and three other countries.
The deal, worked on in secrecy for more than a year, involved 24 prisoners - 16 moving from Russia to the West and eight sent back to Russia from the West.
In a surprising move, Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his critical role in orchestrating a historic U.S.-Russia prisoner swap. This unprecedented deal saw American journalist Evan Gershkovich and U.S. Marine Paul Whelan return home, while high-profile Russian detainees, including hackers and assassins, were handed back to Moscow. The swap, which involved 24 detainees, unfolded after nearly a year of secret negotiations, with Turkey's President Erdogan playing a pivotal role as mediator. Watch now to discover the inside details of this complex geopolitical exchange and the players involved!

In a recent statement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed Vladimir Putin's humorous endorsement of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing that Russia will no longer depend on any "Good Uncle" in the White House. Lavrov underscored the influence of the "deep state" in Washington and reaffirmed Russia's commitment to self-reliance in the face of shifting U.S. politics. This provocative commentary highlights the growing skepticism towards American leadership from Moscow.
