The freed prisoners were American, British, Croatian, Moroccan and Swedish nationals, the ministry said in a statement, adding that a plane carrying the prisoners landed in the kingdom.

British lawmaker Robert Jenrick said Aiden Aslin was among those released. He was captured earlier this year then sentenced to death by a court in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR)

Russia also released U.S. citizens Alexander Drueke, 39, and Andy Huynh, 27, a family representative told Reuters on Wednesday.

The pair, both from Alabama, were captured in June

Much looking forward to the stories they will tell concerning their time in Ukraine, if they ever publish any.

It’s not just the foreigners releasesd. All the leadership of “nazi” Azov too. Over a hundred. So much for “denazifying” Ukraine. Russia just released them all back to Ukraine. LMAO.

Too bad they got off so easily. I am sure the Croat is a neonazi and betting some of the others are as well.

Speaking of international prisoner releases .... What happened to that WNBA player busted for dope? It's like being in jail in Russia was "useful" to Democrats for one or two turns of the news cycle and goodbye. I know we'd hear about any release. Did I miss it?

Looks like Saudi Arabia gets more respect than the USA these days. Not the Swiss or the Belgians. Saudi effin Arabia.
