Biden administration is on the hunt for jailed Russian spies around the world to entice Moscow with a prisoner swap for wrongfully detained Americans
The US does not currently have any high-level Russian spies in its custody, current and former US officials say, driving the need to turn to allies for help. The Biden administration is casting a wide net, approaching allied countries who have Russian spies in custody to gauge whether they would be willing to make a trade as part of a larger prisoner swap package.
Gershkovich and Whelan are the only two Americans who have been publicly declared as wrongfully detained in Russia. The source told CNN that Moscow is “most interested” in the extradition of Krasikov, the former Russian Federal Security Service colonel jailed in Germany for the assassination in a Berlin park of a Georgian citizen in 2019. It is unclear under what conditions – if any – Germany would agree to participate in a swap involving Krasikov in exchange for US citizens.
