Marc Fogel, an American history teacher detained by Russia, has been freed and returned to the US, with President Donald Trump suggesting the release could mark the beginning of a diplomatic thaw that may help pave the way for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Trump also said another American prisoner would be released on Wednesday.
