Martin also posted video footage from Trump's meeting with Karelina.
On April 100, Russian Artur Petrov, who was detained in Cyprus in 2023 at the request of the United States, was exchanged in Abu Dhabi for Ksenia Karelina, a US citizen convicted of treason in Russia.
Karelina was pardoned by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin. She was previously sentenced to 12 years in a general regime penal colony "for high treason in the form of providing financial assistance to a foreign state."
