The Kremlin has expressed openness to a potential prisoner swap that could involve Evan Gershkovich. Gershkovich, a WSJ reporter, was detained by Russian officials in March on suspicion of espionage. The Journal and the US government have vehemently denied the allegations against Gershkovich. Russia's internal security service at the time said that it had detained Gershkovich, accusing him of "espionage in the interests of the American government." The US has told the Kremlin that Gershkovich is not a spy and is not a government official.

A White House official said he spoke to Paul Whelan after WNBA player Brittney Griner was released. During a Sunday interview with CNN, Roger Carstens said he told Whelan to "keep the faith." Whelan was not included in the prison swap that included Griner and arms dealer Viktor Bout. "I said, 'Paul, you have the commitment of this president, the president's focus, the secretary of state's focus, I'm certainly focused, and we're going to bring you home,'" Carstens told Dana Bash. His twin, David Whelan, told CNN he was "glad" that Griner was free and said the White House "made the right decision."
