Biden says he's 'serious' about pursuing prisoner exchange for Wall Street Journal reporter detained in Russia

Feeling both pride and pain. The parents of Evan Goshko are speaking publicly about their son, Languishing in *** Russian jail and facing *** possible sentence of 20 years in prison. I feel that I failed in some way as *** father totally crushing that experience all came back from the Soviet Union. The Skoch parents are Soviet Jewish immigrants who came to the US in 1979 Evan and his sister grew up speaking Russian. When Goshko decided to move there as *** journalist, his parents knew there was little they could do. I couldn't have stopped him when he was 15, let alone little Gko bounced around different media outlets landing at the Wall Street Journal just before Russia invaded Ukraine and started to crack down on journalists. Many of whom left, I know that he felt like it was his duty to report and he loved the Russian people. You know, he still does. He no longer is Russia fighting Ukraine Gkos pieces were well reported, often shining *** light on the Putin regime like this one in December on the Kremlin inner circle which made his family nervous. I think when that article came out about Putin in December. Uh got me worried *** lot like my mood was changing. Late last month, Gko was arrested on *** reporting trip to the central city of Yin. The internal security service, the FSB quickly accused him of espionage. The US government has declared it *** wrongful detention. The attorney general said today and an attack on press freedom, the United States will do everything in its power to get the reporter back other Americans who were recently held by Russia and the family of Paul Whelan who still is, have been vocal in their support, taking *** journalist that kind of puts it into perspective for you. How desperate the Russians have become. Next week. *** Moscow court will hear an appeal by the Wall Street Journal's lawyers against Goshko Vic's detention. His parents are hopeful but know all too well, the reality of Russia's judicial system. It's what's one of the American qualities that we absorbed. Be optimistic, believe in happy happy ending. That's, uh, where we stand right now. But I'm not stupid. I understand what's involved, but that's what I choose to believe.
