US Marine Veteran Robert Gilman Freed From Russian Prison After 1,666 Days

Written by AI, News Sources from Fox News, CBS Politics, Times of India, DW11 Aug 20261 min readUpdated 1 hr ago

A U.S. Marine veteran from Massachusetts has been released from Russian custody after more than four years, with reports differing on whether it was part of a prisoner exchange.

Robert Gilman spent 1,666 days in Russian detention, according to Fox News, which also reported that he was in a catatonic state before his release. CBS News said he had been held since 2022 on disputed charges.

The release was announced by a group, CBS reported. Fox News said Gilman was freed in a prisoner exchange, while DW reported that President Trump said the release was not part of any exchange and expressed appreciation to Russia's Putin. Trump also promised Gilman "a great cheeseburger," according to the Times of India.

Gilman is returning to the United States.
