Russia released Robert Gilman, a former US marine who had been detained since 2022: his family had reported torture.

Robert Gilman, a former United States Marine who had been detained in Russia since 2022, has been released and is expected to arrive in Washington. The release follows reports that Gilman had been held under controversial charges and subjected to abusive conditions, with his family previously alleging that he had been tortured and was suffering from severe health issues that placed him at risk of death.

President Donald Trump announced the release on Tuesday, attributing the development to recent diplomatic efforts. Gilman had served more than four years in Russian custody prior to his liberation.
