The US administration is in regular high-level contact with Russian authorities regarding a possible prisoner exchange, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a March 18 briefing.
When asked about negotiations between Washington and Moscow over the exchange of accused Russian spy Evan Gershkovich and already convicted espionage man Paul Whelan, Sullivan said: “We are making ongoing efforts to secure the release of Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich and will continue to do so until they are released, and this means maintaining regular high-level communications with the Russian Federation and putting forward a number of proposals that we have made. for a long time and we will”.
He stated that this issue remains the most important priority of the US administration and therefore this work will continue, regardless of the death of Alexei Navalny (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of the Russian Federation).
