The Kremlin earlier this month suggested that it was open to a possible prisoner exchange that could involve Evan Gershkovich.
on Thursday said he’s serious about pursuing a prisoner exchange for a Wall Street Journal reporter who has been detained in Russia for more than 100 days.that could involve Evan Gershkovich, but it underscored that such talks must be held out of the public eye.“I’m serious on a prisoner exchange,” said Biden, who was concluding a five-day visit to Europe that took him to the UK, Lithuania and Finland.
. His arrest rattled journalists in Russia. Authorities there have not provided any evidence to support the espionage charges. Gershkovich is the first American reporter to face espionage charges in Russia since September 1986, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was arrested by the KGB. Daniloff was released 20 days later in a swap for an employee of the Soviet Union’s U.N. mission who was arrested by the FBI, also on spying charges.
At a National Press Club event on Thursday, Gershkovich’s sister, Danielle, described the emotional toll from her brother’s captivity. “I just try to take it day by day. It still feels unreal sometimes. For my parents, it’s a full-time job.”One silver lining of the 100th-day marker, she said, was the publicity and attention for her brother.
