The U.S. presidential administration officially confirmed the visit of special envoy Steven Witkoff to Moscow. According to the White House, his mission was connected to discussions about the return of American citizen Marc Fogel, who was sentenced in Russia to 14 years for drug-related offenses.

It's reported that Fogel is already on a plane heading back to the U.S. In Washington, his return has been called an "act of goodwill" from Russia and a "positive signal" in the context of diplomatic relations between the countries, including the situation surrounding the conflict in Ukraine.
