Release of journalist Evan Gershkovich expected in major prisoner swap between Russia and the West

Several high profile prisoners have recently been reported missing from Russian prisons, including American journalist Evan Gershkovich and former US Marine Paul Whelan. A Russian plane that has been used in a previous swap was spotted flying from Moscow to Kaliningrad, a Russian territory between Poland and Lithuania. Several Russian dissidents including Kremlin critic Vladimir Kara-Murza, have also reportedly been moved, suggesting they could be part of a swap. Turkey says it is coordinating what could be the largest prisoner exchange with Moscow since the Cold War.
