Putin Blames Trump for Soldier Release
The U.S. Special Envoy Steve Weitkoff expressed gratitude to Russian President Vladimir Putin for handing over former U.S. Navy sailor Robert Gilman, who was serving a sentence in Russia on charges of using violence against law enforcement officers. Moscow confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump's intervention contributed to Gilman's release, with Putin noting that Washington should thank Trump for it. Gilman was sentenced in 2024 to seven years in prison for using force against Russian officers, but his sentence was increased to over ten years before he was released as part of diplomatic efforts between the two countries. These efforts included visits by high-ranking American officials to Moscow, amid attempts to bridge differences regarding the Ukraine crisis and bilateral relations.
