Russia is expected to release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, ex-U.S. Marine Paul Whelan and others in a large prisoner swap, according to multiple reports.
From CBS News: "As part of the deal, at least 12 political prisoners held in Russia are expected to be released to Germany. Eight Russian nationals are expected to be returned to Russia, including several with suspected ties to Russian intelligence. Among the Russian nationals expected to be involved in the swap is Vadim Krasikov, a convicted murderer who has been serving a life sentence for a 2019 killing in Germany that the judges said had been ordered by Russian federal authorities."
