Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed that Russia will do everything in its power to secure the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza.
It is worth mentioning, Putin said that the release of Russian hostages, including Alexander Trofanov, was made possible due to Russia’s long-standing relations with the Palestinian people.
He noted, however, that the next phase of releasing additional hostages by Hamas, including Donbas native Maksim Kharkhin, does not appear to be on the horizon at this time.
