Russia frees ex-US Marine Robert Gilman from detention
Russia released former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman on August 11 after he had been detained since 2022. Al Jazeera reported that the U.S. government had recently designated him as wrongfully detained. The release matters beyond the individual case because it came amid severe U.S.-Russia tensions, followed pressure from Washington and was not presented as part of a prisoner exchange.
