After the return of an American who was locked up in Russia for years, the Wit -Russian government has now released an American citizen.
In addition to the American, whose identity was not announced, two ‘political prisoners’ from Wit -Russia again received their freedom. The release “of these three hostages” is a great success, said the American ambassador in Lithuania, Kara McDonald, the Omroep CNN on Wednesday.
De Wit -Russian journalist Andrej Kusschyk was also released from prison in his home country on Wednesday, said the team of opposition leader Swetlana Tachanowskaya.
Prisoner brought to Lithuania
The diplomat Chris Smith, responsible for Eastern Europe, said that the three prisoners were brought to Lithuania after their release. “We will continue our work until all Americans are released,” he added. Wit -Russian President Alexander Lukaschenko has granted more than 250 people in recent months. These amnesties are seen as an attempt to record relationships with the West.
On Tuesday, American citizen Marc Fogel was released from the Russian prison sentence and returned to the United States. In exchange, Washington agreed to the release of money laundering in the United States with the help of cryptocurrencies. Fogel had worked as a teacher at an American school in Moscow. He was arrested in 2021 and was sentenced the following year to 14 years in prison for drug smuggling due to a customs check at Scheremetwo Marihuana and cannabis oil in Moscow.
