Russia releases imprisoned American Marc Fogel in what US calls a step toward the end of Ukraine war
Steve Witkoff, a special envoy for President Donald Trump, left Russia with Fogel, a history teacher from Pennsylvania, and they landed back in the U.S. at Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday night, according to the White House. They were expected to head to the White House, with Fogel to be reunited with his family by the end of the day.
Fogel was arrested in August 2021 and was serving a 14-year prison sentence. His family and supporters said he had been traveling with medically prescribed marijuana, and he was designated by President Joe Biden's administration as wrongfully detained in December.
Michael Waltz, Trump's national security adviser, said the U.S. and Russia «negotiated an exchange» to ensure Fogel's release. He did not say what the U.S. side of the bargain entailed. Previous negotiations have occasionally involved reciprocal releases of Russians by the U.S. or its allies.
Waltz said the development was «a sign we are moving in the right direction to end the brutal and terrible war in Ukraine.» Trump, a Republican, has promised to find a way to end the conflict.
