In what could be seen as a significant win for the Joe Biden administration, Evan Gershkovich, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, entered his release on Thursday as part of the largest East-West slave transfer since the Cold War. As he cited the friends for the multi-country swap deal that freed two hundred people, Joe Biden cited the prisoner swap as a strong illustration of why having friends in this world is important.
The nations involved in the swap offer were US, Russia, Belarus and Germany. Turkey provided crucial logistical support in the offer, and Norway, Slovenia, and Poland were included because they now have custody of further Russians who are included in the exchange.
Evan Gershkovich was detained on espionage-related charges, which the US government and the Wall Street Journal denied, but Kremlin insisted that he had been exposed for illegal eavesdropping.

According to WSJ, Evan Gerskovich had to tackle Putin with an official demand for political mercy.

In the official great Russian he had honed over 16 months prison, the Journal’s Russia editor filled the site. The last series submitted a proposal of his own: After his release, had He been willing to sit down for an meeting”? the WSJ statement said.
‘ Are we also paying them cash’: Donald Trump
The WSJ journalist’s release was questioned by former US president Donald Trump, who recently claimed that Putin would merely release him for Trump once he becomes president. He pressed for information on the prisoner switch, and he inquired about whether Russia had received additional income.
When will the information of the prisoner-swapping agreement with Russia be made public? How many people are there in comparison to them? Do we also pay them in income? Do they offer us money ( please retreat that question, as I’m certain the answer is NO)? Are we releasing killers, murders, or criminals? Only interested because we never make great deals, at something, but especially prisoner swaps. Our “negotiators” are generally embarrassing to us. I freed numerous captives and never gave any money to the opposing nation. This would set poor precedent for the future. That’s the way it should be, or this scenario may get worse and worse. The United States of America is being extorted by them. They’re calling the trade” sophisticated”– That’s so nobody can figure out how terrible it is”! Trump posted on Truth Social.
