From a Russian prison to the White House in a matter of hours, American schoolteacher Marc Fogel saw his three-and-a half-year captivity come to a whirlwind end in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday night.
Fogel, 63, who has been detained in Russia since August 2021 on charges related to cannabis possession, gained his freedom following an unspecified "exchange" between President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin involving discussions to end the three-year Ukraine War.
