Russia releases former US Marine from prison, Trump thanks Putin
Russia has released former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman, who had spent more than four years in a Russian prison and was subjected to harsh treatment.
Former US Marine Gilman has been released from prison in Russia, with US President Donald Trump expressing gratitude to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the decision. Gilman's sister, Lexi Hudson, credited Trump and Senator Ed Markey for his release, stating that Russian authorities had treated her brother inhumanely. Trump revealed that he had spoken with Putin before the release, and that it was carried out on a humanitarian basis, with no exchange taking place.
Upon his arrival at Andrews Air Force Base, Gilman requested a cheeseburger, which Trump promised to arrange.
