"Thanks to the leadership of U.S. President Donald Trump, Belarus has just unilaterally released innocent American Anastasia Nuhfer, who was detained under [46th U.S. President] Joe Biden," he wrote.

The American diplomat noted that the U.S. team had done "a lot of work," commenting on the situation with the phrase "peace through strength."

"Radio Free Europe" points out that Nuhfer's name had never been mentioned publicly before, and the circumstances of her detention are unknown "even to Belarusian human rights defenders." Journalists highlight that Nuhfer is not listed among U.S. citizens detained worldwide throughout history.

According to data from the human rights center "Viasna," Nuhfer is 48 years old.
