Russia released former American marine Robert Gilman, who was imprisoned in the country for more than four years. His release was announced on Tuesday by American President Donald Trump following contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin. NOS ↗
Gilman was detained in Russia in 2022. A Russian court in the southwestern part of the country sentenced him for alleged violence against a police officer. According to his family and American officials, the charges were fabricated. Multiple sources describe him as a former soldier and English teacher. Deutschlandfunk ↗
According to available information, the Kremlin granted Gilman a pardon on humanitarian grounds. Reports also indicate that his physical and mental health has significantly deteriorated in recent times. His family warned that he was in very poor condition, which increased pressure for his release.
American officials stated that his release was not part of a prisoner exchange. According to reports, Trump emphasized that the United States did not send any prisoner back to Russia in exchange for Gilman. The case thus fits into a broader context of diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Moscow regarding American citizens detained in Russia. Tagesspiegel ↗
