Putin says Russia is in dialogue with the US on exchanging jailed Americans Gershkovich and Whelan

Russian president Vladimir Putin is in dialogue with the United States regarding the release of jailed Americans Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich. The Kremlin hopes to find a solution, despite the challenges. The US State Department has made multiple offers, including one recently, but Russia has rejected them all. Both Whelan and Gershkovich are wrongfully detained, with Whelan serving a 16-year sentence and Gershkovich facing espionage charges. The Lefortovo District Court in Moscow extended Gershkovich's detention until January, and his appeal was rejected by the Moscow City Court.
