President Joe Biden has expressed interest in pursuing a prisoner exchange to free Wall Street Journal Reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been detained in Russia for over 100 days. The Kremlin has indicated openness to a possible exchange, but emphasized that talks must be held privately. Biden confirmed his seriousness about securing the release of Americans held illegally in Russia or elsewhere. Gershkovich was arrested on espionage charges and is currently held at Moscow's Lefortovo prison. The US government has declared his detention to be wrongful, and his arrest has raised concerns among journalists in Russia.
