A prisoner swap involving the United States, Russia, and potentially other countries is currently taking place, as confirmed by a senior Biden administration official. This rare act of cooperation comes at a time of increased political tensions between the U.S. and Russia. Among the well-known American prisoners being held in Russia are Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, although it is unclear if they are part of this particular swap. The details are still developing, and updates are expected as the story unfolds.
