In a historic prisoner exchange, three Americans have returned to the US after being detained in Russia. Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, former US Marine Paul Whelan, and Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they were greeted by their families and President Joe Biden. The exchange marks the largest prisoner swap between Russia and the West since the Cold War. The returnees were met with tears and embraces, marking a joyful reunion.
