The White House announced the release of three prisoners from Belarus, including an American citizen and a Radio Free Europe employee, one day after another American, Marc Fogel, was freed from a Russian prison. This action was characterized as an illustration of President Trump's negotiation skills. The releases are interpreted within a larger context of geopolitical negotiations, including the ongoing issues surrounding Belarusian political prisoners and recent pardons granted by President Lukashenko amid international scrutiny.
It speaks to President Trump's deal-making ability, and we can confirm the safe release of one American and two individuals from Belarus, one of whom worked for Radio Liberty.
On its Telegram channel, Nexta identified the other released Belarusian as activist Alena Movshuk, who was detained in connection with her participation in the 2020 protests.
