Negotiations for the Release of U.S. Captives from Russian Captivity
The Biden administration successfully negotiated the release of several U.S. residents from Russian captivity in exchange for Russian prisoners held in the U.S. and allied countries. The negotiations involved high-profile individuals like WNBA star Brittney Griner and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. The process included diplomatic efforts and prisoner swaps with countries like Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and Norway. The captives were finally freed and reunited with their families after years of captivity.
