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.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stormed out of the briefing room after being pressed on critical questions regarding President Trump's stance on Iran and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Tensions soared as reporters confronted Leavitt with inquiries about Trumpās position on military action against Iranās nuclear sites and his plans to address the escalating Russia-Ukraine war. Leavitt, visibly agitated, struggled to provide clear answers, prompting a heated exchange.

Top Ukrainian officials made a surprise trip to Paris, pushing the U.S. for a tougher stance on Russia after failed ceasefire efforts. Their visit comes as Donald Trump's envoys, including Marco Rubio, meet with European leaders. With Ukraine accusing Trump of appeasing Moscow, tensions have reached a new peak. France, Germany, and the UK are pressing for action after deadly attacks on civilians in Sumy. Trump, frustrated by both sides, blamed Zelenskyy for provoking the warāraising alarms across Europe.
