American Paul Whelan said he is "extremely concerned about being left behind" in Russia again, as the Biden administration looks to cut a deal with the Kremlin to release U.S. detainees. In one of several phone calls over the Christmas holiday, Whelan told WTOP that the Russians are "adamant" about doing "one-for-one exchanges," which he worries will result in Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's release and not his own. "At this point, the five-year mark, I'm extremely concerned about being left behind a third time," Whelan said. "I'm concerned that the Biden administration will work out a deal for...

[NOTE: I just posted the following message on Twitter.]Just a thought here: How about if Russia agrees to free the jailed WSJ reporter [Evan Gershkovich] in exchange for the USA dropping ALL charges against Julian Assange so he too can become a FREE man? This offer by Putin would put the ball in Biden's court.Whether or not Biden agrees to the deal, it helps Putin's image. And with that image improvement he would have enough prestige to make a PEACE deal with Ukraine to end that DANGEROUS war and prevent a possible nuclear holocaust. This is even beyond freeing a...

There wasn’t much left of Russian army Sgt. Andrei Akhromov’s body when it arrived in a zinc coffin at his hometown, a four-hour drive south of Moscow, relatives said. The 21-year-old died in April near the Ukrainian city of Chernihiv when his tank was hit by enemy fire. Sgt.

Loved ones didn’t look into the casket before burying him last week, he said. “I only blame America—not Ukraine, not...
