Former US Marine Robert Gilman, imprisoned in Russia since 2022, will be released, according to statements made by President Donald Trump. The announcement signals a potential shift in US-Russia relations, though details surrounding the circumstances of the release remain scarce. Trump did not disclose any conditions attached to the release, notably whether it involved a prisoner swap. Gilman’s detention had been a point of contention between the two countries, with the US government previously advocating for his freedom. The release is anticipated to ease some diplomatic tension, at least temporarily. Further information regarding Gilman's return to the United States is expected to be released soon.
