Russia says has sent US 'signals' over Gershkovich swap

Russia said on Wednesday that it has sent the United States "signals" about a possible prisoner swap involving detained reporter Evan Gershkovich and that Washington should seriously consider them.

"We have repeatedly emphasised that the US administration, which shows such interest and activity with regard to his fate, should still seriously consider the signals that they in Washington received through the relevant channels," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russian news agencies.
