“Today, President Donald J. Trump and his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are able to announce that Mr. Witkoff is leaving Russian airspace with Marc Fogel, an American who was detained by Russia,” White House national security adviser Mike Waltz, said in a statement. “President Trump, Steve Witkoff and the president’s advisors negotiated an exchange that serves as a show of good faith from the Russians and a sign we are moving in the right direction to end the brutal and terrible war in Ukraine.”

arrested aroudn same time as the lesbian Griner- who was ‘rescued’ by Biden- apparently thsi fella didn’t check the right ethnic or lifestyle choice boxes so he was left to rot-

He was arrested for a ‘large scale pot distribution attempt’ according to Russia (He had 17 grams, or just over half an ounce of personal ‘medical pot’ on him- Anything between 6-100 grams is classified as a “significant amount,” by russia)
