NSA Jake Sullivan Says There’s No “Clear Answer” On Freeing Evan Gershkovich From Russia

#shorts On 7/7/2023, a reporter asked NSA Jake Sullivan, “I was hoping you could comment on the news earlier this week that the Russians may be open to a prisoner swap for Evan Gershkovich.

And I also had a question for you about how the uprising by the Wagner Group may, in your view, impact Russia’s leaders’ willingness or lack of willingness to make a deal that would release Evan.

MR. SULLIVAN: … I do not want to give false hope. What the Kremlin said earlier this week is correct: There have been discussions. But those discussions have not produced a clear pathway to a resolution, and so I cannot stand here today and tell you that we have a clear answer to how we are going to get Evan home. All I can do is tell you that we have a clear commitment and conviction that we will do everything possible to bring him home.
