There's some very good news out of Russia this morning, as three U.S. citizens who have been wrongly imprisoned by Vladimir Putin's government —Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, U.S. Marine veteran Paul Whelan and Russian-American radio journalist Alsu Kurmasheva — are reportedly on the verge of being released.
Oddly, the Journal, which has been fierce in keeping the spotlight on Gershkovich, does not yet have the report. But according to BBC News, the three are part of a larger swap involving "at least 24 prisoners," including eight Russians who will be returned to Moscow.
