Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday night greeted Russian prisoners freed as part of a swap with US as they arrived at the airport in Moscow.

Russia freed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as well as jailed Kremlin critics in the largest prisoner exchange with the West in decades, in return for a prized assassin sought by President Vladimir Putin. 

“Now, their brutal ordeal is over and they’re free,” US President Joe Biden said at a White House appearance with family members of some of the released prisoners. “The deal that made this possible was a feat of diplomacy and friendship.”

The swap, which took place on the airport tarmac in Ankara, Turkey, included two dozen people, 16 going to the West and eight being returned to Russia. Among them were other American citizens as well as Russians convicted of crimes and imprisoned in the US, Germany, Poland, Norway and Slovenia.

Additionally, what if Trump promised to eliminate all federal taxes? Has that been suggested yet? He already has some strong promises on the table, but adding another stimulus package could attract even more support, especially among those struggling

Share Thumb up and Speak Up..this is our chance to get TRUTH...Post this everywhere on Truth Social and X etc...post about mudfossils EVERYWHERE. I am perplexed about the minds of people and belief systems. Some say Faith is all you need but faith in what? I say we start with the Truth about our past which will cause Academia distress because it shows them wrong on many levels so they will not let Mudfossils be seen in any Journals or Articles because the publishers would become the target of Academia...same as what happened to "Worlds in Collision" by Velikovsky. 11 weeks #1 on NY Times best seller list and Academics forced the publisher to recall the books.
