The exchange that led to the release of him, former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan, journalist Alsu Kurmasheva and Vladimir Kara-Murza, a British-Russian dissident and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist is the largest East-West prisoner swap since the Cold War.
Well done, President Biden, Secretary Blinken, Vice President Harris and everyone else who made this possible. Today was a very good day. xo
P.S. I'm with John Aravosis when he says:
Can we all agree that it’s time for Americans to stop going to Russia, including media organization sending reporters over when they know damn well they’re gonna get kidnapped and then we’re gonna have to give up horrific Russian criminals in exchange for them?
@potus: After enduring unimaginable suffering and uncertainty, the Americans detained in Russia are safe, free, and have begun their journeys back into the arms of their families.
@vp: Today, we celebrate the release of Paul, Evan, Alsu, Vladimir, and others who were unjustly held in Russia. It gives me great comfort to know that their horrible ordeal is over and that they will soon be reunited with their families. @POTUS and I will not stop working until every American who is wrongfully detained or held hostage is brought home.
WATCH: Pure joy as they are greeted by Biden and Harris, reunited with their families!

I am glad they are home and can start their lives anew.
Yes, stop going to countries that knowingly kidnap folks and then try to do a swap. Russia I am looking at you.
I must say Evan is a cutie. He comes across as a fun-loving person. I want some investigative reporter to tell us who that man was Evan hugged compassionately when he was on the tarmac.
Have a great weekend Kenneth!!
This was so moving and emotional to watch. I'm so glad that Evan and the others are home to stay!
Evan and the others are back thanks to the efforts of the Biden administration, but you’ll never see the WSJ give Biden credit. Oh no, that flies in the face of their adulation of loud mouth, do nothing Trump. -Rj
