U.S. and Russia discussing prisoner swap

Russia and the U.S. have discussed the possibility of conducting another prisoner exchange.

Axar.az informs Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev told Axios in an interview.

A U.S. official confirmed that and said the U.S. side was receptive, but cautioned that nothing was imminent.

At least eight Americans are in Russian prisons. Bringing detained Americans home is a priority for President Trump, and a swap could help as the Kremlin seeks to improve relations with his administration despite tensions over Ukraine.

Russia hopes a new prisoner exchange with the U.S. will show goodwill and create more trust between the countries, a source with knowledge of the issue said.
