Ksenia Carolina returns to the US after year-long detention in Russia

The recent government meeting highlighted the successful return of American Ksenia Karelina, who was unjustly detained in Russia for over a year. Officials announced that Ksenia is now on her way back to the United States and will soon be reunited with her family.

During the meeting, it was emphasized that the U.S. government remains committed to addressing the plight of other Americans still held in Russia, including Stephen Hubbard. The efforts to secure Ksenia's release were led by President Trump's team, which included Secretary Rubio, special envoy Whitcough, CIA director Ratcliffe, national security adviser Waltz, and special envoy Bowler. Their coordinated actions were crucial in negotiating her return.

The meeting also acknowledged the support of the United Arab Emirates, which played a significant role in facilitating the exchange that led to Ksenia's release. This development marks a significant step in the ongoing efforts to advocate for American citizens unjustly detained abroad.
