    Nice to see the WSJ recognising the commitment and resilience of Evan's family, but pretty sad how little recognition WSJ has given to all of those people who actually made this amazingly complex deal happen including the diplomats and politicians from 6 countries and in that context the White house with Joe Biden and his secretary of state Anthony Blinken and the diplomats and officers in his department. Amazing efforts and delivering on the commitment President Biden has consistently made. Things like this happen for a reason and its nothing about Tucker Carlson, all about real people who care!

    Still 2 Americans held. Pray for their release.
  • @hourbee5535
    Are there any more Americans vacationing in Russia?
  • @djp1234
    Nobody should be traveling to Russia. Putin will just use you as a bargaining chip.

    One thing I thought I could do to support Evan was to read through every single page of the "Free Evan" section in the journal each time it was published.

    Well, congratulations under the circumstances, very happy to hear his ordeal is finally over. Steadfastness has paid off - though we don’t know what has been given in return. Welcome back Evan 💙💚!
