Possible swap for jailed journalists between US and Russia
TL;DR Summary
Russia may consider a prisoner swap with the US involving jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich after his trial on espionage charges, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. However, Moscow would only negotiate a possible exchange after a court delivers its verdict. Gershkovich, his employer, and the US government all deny he was involved in spying and have demanded his release. He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
