Marc Fogel, an American teacher detained for more than three years in Russia, was released from prison Tuesday in a prisoner exchange organized by President Donald Trump. Fogel's attorney Martin De Luca says the release was unprecedented and could open up peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.

Marc Fogel, an American schoolteacher who had been held in Russia since 2021, arrived back on U.S. soil late Tuesday night after the White House announced earlier in the day it had negotiated his release.

President Donald Trump’s announcement that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to begin negotiations on ending the war in Ukraine followed a prisoner swap between the two nations.
