American Paul Whelan, who has been jailed in Russia since 2018 on espionage charges, was seen in rare video footage aired on Kremlin-backed Russia Today network.
American citizen and Marine veteran Paul Whelan was shown on Russian state media in a rare video Monday.
During other portions of the video, Whelan can be seen chatting with other inmates in the prison yard and eating in the cafeteria. According to Whelan's brother, a similar interview request from the network in May resulted in prison staff retaliation"against him after he didn't participate.""I wish I could see Paul under better circumstances. But it was good to see him again and to see the fight remains in his eyes," David wrote in the statement."It is good to know Paul remains unbowed.
The U.S. has continued efforts to free the jailed American, according to the report, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently speaking to Whelan by phone.
