Russia ‘Prepared to Consider’ U.S. Prisoner Swap – Senior Diplomat

Russia is open to negotiating a prisoner exchange with the U.S. to improve relations under President-elect Trump, says Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. 🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸

A potential deal may follow the significant August 1 exchange of eight Russians for 16 political prisoners, requiring a "multiphased" approach, possibly including pardons. This exchange could occur as soon as February 2025, shortly after Trump’s inauguration.
