Russia Frees Ex-US Marine Gilman, Heading Home for Medical Care
Russia freed former US Marine Robert Gilman after four years in detention in Voronezh on humanitarian grounds, with the US designation that he was wrongfully detained. Gilman is due to arrive at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC, and then receive medical treatment at a rehabilitation center in San Antonio, Texas. Trump said a team of aides helped secure the release; health reports have varied, with one senator describing Gilman as gravely ill from pneumonia and in a catatonic state, while US officials say he is walking, talking, and in decent shape. His mother Nina traveled with him, and officials note he was among at least 10 Americans known to be imprisoned in Russia.
