Why was American citizen Caleb Byers released from Russia?
Caleb Byers, an American citizen who was arrested in Russia for carrying a small amount of drugs, was deliberately released by the Kremlin before important US-Russian talks. According to the Kremlin's statement, his quick release was strategically timed to create a positive atmosphere ahead of these diplomatic discussions. The Trump administration confirmed Byers' release, which appears to be a calculated diplomatic gesture by Russia. This intentional action in the buildup to the talks signals Russia's interest in establishing favorable conditions for the upcoming negotiations between the two nations.
