Successful Prisoner Exchange with Russia

A significant prisoner swap took place involving several Americans released from Russian imprisonment, including journalist Evan Gershkovich. This exchange marked the largest of its kind since the Cold War, orchestrated in collaboration with key allies, particularly Germany. Germany's role was crucial as it released Vadim Krasikov, a wanted Russian state hitman, which facilitated the Americans' return. President Biden emphasized the importance of international alliances, highlighting that strong relationships with allies like Germany are essential for achieving diplomatic successes.
