Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan were released Thursday by Russia as part of a major, multi-nation swap of two dozen prisoners.

The Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva and British-Russian activist Vladimir Kara-Murza also were freed as part of the swap, along with five German citizens and seven Russian citizens. All of those people had been in prison in Russia.

Eight Russians, including the spy and convicted hitman Vadim Kraiskov, are being returned to Russia from the United States, Slovenia, Norway, Poland and Germany.

Gershkovich, Whelan and Kurmasheva are U.S. citizens, while Kara-Murza is a permanent American resident.
