Russian President Vladimir Putin met with freed hostages Sapir Cohen, Alexander Trufanov, and Elena Trufanova in Moscow, praising their safe return after hundreds of days in captivity.⁣
⁣
Calling the release a “humanitarian operation,” Putin said it was made possible thanks to Russia’s “stable, long-standing relations with the Palestinian people” and thanked the Hamas political leadership for their role. “What happened to you is a great tragedy… but thank God you are safe and sound right here,” he told them.⁣
