Justice a short time ago, President Biden was joined by the families of those now former prisoners to celebrate this moment. Today were bringing home paul, evan, alsu, vladimir, Three American Citizens And One american green Card Holder. All four have been imprisoned unjustly in russia, and now their brutal ordeal is over, and theyre free. Moments ago their families and i were able to speak on the telephone from the Oval Office.
