Marine Released from Russia | Adelaide News

Former Marine Robert Gilman, jailed in Russia since 2022, is finally free — thanks to a surprising humanitarian pardon from Putin and a personal push by President Trump. At just 32, Gilman flew home with his mother, walking and talking clearly after being medically evaluated on the plane, despite earlier reports of him being catatonic. His release, without any prisoner swap, is seen as a goodwill move by Russia — and could pave the way for other Americans wrongfully detained there, including Stephen Hubbard. Gilman, who served in the Marines until 2020, was sentenced to four and a half years after allegedly assaulting a police officer while intoxicated — though his family disputes the charges, citing illness at the time. He’s headed to rehab in San Antonio for recovery.
