[edit]U.S. reporter Gershkovich released in prisoner swap
- U.S. investigative journalist Evan Gershkovich, jailed in March 2023 on espionage charges in Russia, on Aug. 1 was among Americans released in exchange for eight Russians held in the West. Among the latter was Vasem Krasikov, who was serving a life sentence in Germany for the 2019 Berlin assassination of Chechen dissident Zelimkhan Khangoshvili. U.S. President Joe Biden said he owed a debt of gratitude to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who overcame his reluctance to release Krasikov. Wall Street Journal reporter Gershkovich had been sentenced July 19 to 16 years in prison after a closed-door court proceeding in Yekaterinburg, 1,100 mi. (1,800 km) east of Moscow.
