Sixteen prisoners have been released from Russian prisons in the biggest exchange deal between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

US President Joe Biden confirmed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and US Marine veteran Paul Whelan are among those on their way back to the US.

A White House statement confirmed Alsu Kurmasheva and Vladimir Kara-Murza were also released by Russia and will return to the US.

Mr Biden said: "The deal that secured their freedom was a feat of diplomacy. All told, we've negotiated the release of 16 people from Russia - including five Germans and seven Russian citizens who were political prisoners in their own country.

They are clearly preparing to negotiate with Russia. Zelensky today alluded to the possibility of giving up territory, and said Russia should take part in the next round of peace negotiations. It's Joever for Ukraine. Good PR for Biden/Harris though.

The only reason why the arrest people like Evan is to then bargain prisoner swaps. It's basically kidnapping. 

 

Glad that he and the others are finally free, even if it comes at a cost.

When Biden secures peace in Eastern Europe and Kamala in the Middle East, it's over for any future Trump re-elections :jonnycat:

 

World Peace 2025 agenda, let's go

Russia is slowly collapsing, they keep lying that everything is ok and under control but in reality their economy in shambles :gaycat2: It's time to end the war and admit your fault and crimes.

Is it happening? OMG It'd be a good thing that the war is over but I hope it won't be like the Korean War where the country was eventually split in two :chick3:

It's a lie, Ukraine will not giving up any territory to Russia, such plans is not even on a table. Next peace summit will pursuit Russia to withdraw the troops and return to 1991 borders.

He said it himself in an interview, obviously he didn't outright say "we will give up these territories" but they are warming the public to the idea

It's sad but neither Biden nor Harris nor Trump (nor any European country) would send decisive military help so there's not much of an alternative

Putin wanted Krasikov (his agent who was serving a life sentence for murder in Germany), he also got his other spies. this is a win for him, it will show his agents that if they are caught he will help them.
