The U.S. Ambassador told Russia’s foreign minister on Tuesday, July 16, that President Vladimir Putin should release detained Americans, singling out Gershkovich and ex-Marine Paul Whelan and accusing the Russian leader of continuing to treat “human beings as bargaining chips.” UNITED NATIONS — The U.S.
“We will not rest until Paul and Evan come home, and Russia has ceased this barbaric practice of holding human pawns once and for all,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “And that’s a promise.” “I asked minister Lavrov to consider her unimaginable pain, having gone four years without seeing her brother, to look into her eyes and see her suffering,” the U.S. ambassador said.
Other U.S. citizens in Russian custody include a musician, an engineer, a staff sergeant, and a journalist for the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Tatar-Bashkir service.
