周三曝光的照片和视频显示，海军老兵罗伯特·吉尔曼从俄罗斯羁押中获释后，已返回美国国土。
吉尔曼是美国公民，2022年1月17日在俄罗斯沃罗涅日被捕，总刑期为10年，在被关押1666天后于周二基于人道主义理由获释。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，吉尔曼将于周二晚间抵达华盛顿特区的安德鲁斯空军基地，在与他通话后，“他只有一个请求——着陆后能吃到超棒的芝士汉堡”。
“我们的海军陆战队成员已安全返回美国国土，”总统副助理塞巴斯蒂安·戈爾卡周三早些时候在X平台上写道，并配了一段飞机降落滑行的视频。“正如唐纳德·特朗普总统承诺的那样，史蒂夫·威特科夫给罗伯特·吉尔曼带去了芝士汉堡和奶昔！”

“（我偷偷给他带了一支雪茄，等他完全康复后抽！）”戈爾卡补充道。“还有我们白宫团队的一名成员给他带去了专属的美国海军陆战队旗帜。几乎没有哪份工作能比得上这份意义。绝不丢下任何一名美国人。”
在自己的帖子中，身为美国中东问题特使的威特科夫表示，这是“欢迎一名美国公民回到家人和祖国怀抱的特殊夜晚”。
“感谢总统永远不丢下任何人，”威特科夫还写道，并配了一张他和戈爾卡与吉尔曼在飞机降落后排在一起的照片。
“罗伯特是一名爱国者——一位曾光荣为国效力的前美国海军陆战队员。他现在终于可以回到家人身边，接受所需的医疗救治，”威特科夫在另一篇帖子中说道。“他的回国再次证明了总统非凡的领导力和将美国人带回家的坚定承诺。在他的领导下，马克·福格尔和克塞尼亚·卡雷利娜也已从俄罗斯回国。”

吉尔曼2022年因袭击一名警官被定罪，最初被判处三年半监禁。2024年，吉尔曼在羁押期间的麻烦升级，他因在一次牢房检查中袭击监狱督察、袭击一名调查人员并殴打另一名狱警而被俄罗斯定罪。
2025年12月，俄罗斯一家地区法院认定吉尔曼再次袭击监狱工作人员罪名成立，延长了他的刑期。
但美国国务院将吉尔曼列为被错误扣押的人员。
在过去十年里，吉尔曼是第三位在俄罗斯被扣押的美国海军陆战队员，此前分别是2018年被俄罗斯扣押的保罗·惠兰和2019年被扣押的特雷弗·里德。两人后来均通过囚犯交换获释。
“在与弗拉基米尔·普京总统会谈后，俄罗斯已同意基于人道主义理由释放他，我们对此表示感谢，也感谢俄罗斯方面提出不要求交换任何人——没有进行任何交换，”特朗普周二在Truth Social上写道。

“罗伯特·吉尔曼已与他亲爱的母亲南希团聚，她也在这架飞机上，他很快就能见到所有亲人，”特朗普补充道。

Trump said Russia agreed to release Gilman on humanitarian grounds with no prisoner exchange required

Photos and video emerged Wednesday showing Marine veteran Robert Gilman back on American soil following his release from Russian custody.
Gilman, a U.S. citizen who was arrested on Jan. 17, 2022, in Voronezh, Russia, and sentenced to a total of 10 years in prison, was freed on humanitarian grounds Tuesday after 1,666 days in prison. President Donald Trump said Gilman would land at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night, and after speaking with him, “he had one request — A GREAT cheeseburger when he lands.”
“Our Marine is safely back on American soil,” Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to the president, wrote on X early Wednesday, sharing a video of an aircraft coming to a stop. “As President Donald Trump promised, Steve Witkoff brought Robert Gilman cheeseburgers and milkshakes!”

“(I snuck him a cigar for when he’s fully recovered!),” Gorka added. “And a member of our broader White House team brought him his own USMC flag. There are very few jobs like this one. No American left behind.”
In his own post, Witkoff, who is the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, said it was a “special night welcoming an American citizen home to his family and country.”
“Thank you POTUS for never leaving anyone behind,” Witkoff also said, sharing an image of him and Gorka alongside Gilman on the plane following the landing.
“Robert is a patriot — a former United States Marine who served our country with honor. He can now finally return to his family and receive the medical care he needs,” Witkoff said in a separate post. “His return is another testament to POTUS’s extraordinary leadership and unwavering commitment to bringing Americans home. Under his leadership, Marc Fogel and Ksenia Karelina were also brought home from Russia.”

Gilman was convicted in 2022 of assaulting a police officer, initially receiving a sentence of three and a half years. Gilman’s troubles in custody then increased in 2024 when he was found guilty by Russia of attacking a prison inspector during a cell check, assaulting an investigator and beating another guard.
In December 2025, Russia once again extended Gilman’s prison sentence after a regional court found him guilty of a new assault on prison staff.
However, the U.S. State Department referred to Gilman as a wrongful detainee.
Gilman is the third U.S. Marine to be taken prisoner in Russia in the last decade, following Russia’s detention of Paul Whelan in 2018 and Trevor Reed in 2019. Both were later released in prisoner swaps.
“After my discussions with President Vladimir Putin, Russia has agreed to release him, very much on a Humanitarian Basis. We appreciate this decision, and the fact that Russia asked for no one in return — No exchange took place,” Trump wrote Tuesday on Truth Social.
Gorka says he brought Gilman a cigar to enjoy when he is “fully recovered.”(SebGorka/X.com)
“Robert Gilman has been reunited with his wonderful mother, Nancy, who is also on the plane with him, and will soon get to see all of his loved ones,” Trump added.
