https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/marc-fogel-american-teacher-held-russia-3-12-years-released-rcna191722

tl;dr: An American teacher that was teaching in Russia was detained while trying to leave via Moscow airport for 3.5 years in Russia for medically prescribed cannibus in his luggage (was sentenced to 14 years). Trump and his cabinet negotiated for his release and someone else's (which isnt known yet). Fogel's mom (95) also joked to not to tell Trump that their family werent Trump supporters before she reunited with her son lol. It is unknown what Russia gained from this release (supposedly there was an exchange, but no paperwork for it), but Trump's advisers are hopeful that this will help advance a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia with the success of this release.

Edited the OP cuz I misread the article. There was a prisoner exchange but it is unknown who was released to Russia since there was no paperwork published about it

We're never going to know what Trump gave up to get him back, are we?

All media coverage I've seen is completely unquestioning and uncritical. (Remember how much scrutiny the Griner exchange was under?)

Depends on what we gave up to get him, I think. I'm assuming L until further notice though, because Trump loves Ls.

Right but she's a black gay woman. Of course the right would throw a fit over her

Let's not forget we have people in government right now who do Nazi salutes so well, you know they practice them. And that this Nazi person has all of our social security information. This is chump change compared to the bigger fish.

Wasn't there a whole lot of whining and crying from a specific population over the last time we had to free a weed prisoner from Russian jail?

I swear it was this whole thing and I am just flabbergasted why they might be silent right no-
