After historic prisoner swap, freed U.S. prisoners headed home

Several countries involved in a historic prisoner swap successfully negotiated the release of 24 prisoners, including three American citizens and one legal permanent resident, and others from Russia, Germany and three other Western countries. CBS News' Olivia Gazis and Elizabeth Palmer break down the news, and William B. Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, joins CBS News with his analysis of the diplomatic feat.

Another big win by Biden/Harris! We will make history this November. NAVY Vet here proudly supporting Kamala Harris 2024!

Yeah where is all the news flashes about there release how come it took so long for these Americans to get released from Russian prisons when the female basketball star was released from Russian prisons in record time

[RoxanneM-]

Did you see what Biden responded when asked about Trump saying he could release them all without having to ask anything in return in one day?
Biden said, why didn’t he do it while he was president then?

This was in today’s press conference with Biden’s speech today. But the media didn’t release it here for you to see.

If you hate this, you might need to talk to somebody, besides your circle

About time how we let these ppl stay prisoners but get back Brittany grinner 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

I am so happy for them! Thank you, President Biden! Now, these dear prisoners need much prayer for healing. I am reminded of the Iran hostage crisis during President Carter's term. It was one of the things that led to his defeat.

I love this! But why Americans keep going to Russia, especially in this time, knowing that they’re likely to be taken captive.

Im sorry, I dont know what is a swap...what did they swap..just didnt understand what this means

[JoshPprinting]

Pretty sad what this country turned into

[ormsreel]

The Good thing is that they have regained their freedom on both sides. In my understanding, There are a lot of Americans in Russia, just like there are lots of Russians in America; I think the Intelligence and espionage agencies of both countries know their games very well, and they know their players when they see them. To say the evidence should be brought to the public domain is quite funny.

Ilya Yashin is a FSB (KGB) guy.. Double-agent! (Same as Navalny was..) All in Russia know it.
Bravo, democRats!😂😂

[paulstupka]

Thank you, Biden-Harris, your team and the diplomats in all 6 countries. Please continue until all Americans are returned home Blah, blah, blah versus getting things done.

Sad it took this long for the marine to come home but their priority was to free a gay basketball player first

[Eged]

طاب يومك خالقي والسلام عليك ايتها العين القديرة والمقتدرة
اللهي وربي وخالقي أحب أن أكون قربك في الملكوت الاعلى اسبحك واقدسك وامجدك . خالقي آن الاوان لتقوم الساعة وتبعث من في القبور وتحاسب الثقلين الانس والجان . لقد ابطلت خطط ابليس وابنائه وجنوده الخبيثة لزعزعة سلطانك وايذاء الانس والجان لقد تخلى جميع الملائكة الساقطين عن ابليس وابنائه وجنوده بعد العفو الذي منحته لهم وماتفضلت عليهم بنعمك وفضلك وبهذا لن يكون هناك من لا يستمع لك و لايستجيب لأوامرك وبذلك قد سحبنا من هم تحت مكر وخداع ابليس وابنائه وجنوده وبذلك يكون ابليس وابنائه وجنوده بدون دعم الملائكة الساقطين وتكون مخططاته المستقبلية قد فشلت وبذلك يكون الملائكة الساقطين ومن هم قد غرر بهم ومايعدهم ويمنيهم ابليس لهم قد نجوا منه ومن الجحيم ونار جهنم المعدة للذين يتبعون ابليس وابنائه وجنوده .
