The authorities of Belarus liberated the US citizen Anastasia Nufer, taken into custody during the presidency of Joe Biden. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed this dismissal in social networks, saying that this happened thanks to the leadership of the US President, and added that this step is evidence of the World Donald Trump administration policy.

The name of Anastasia Nufer was not previously disclosed, and the details of her detention remain unknown.
It is noted that Minsk did not reveal her name, and Washington usually does not publish information about the detained Americans without the permission of the family.
Note, on January 26, 2025, elections are held in Belarus in which Alexander Lukashenko is expected to re -election for the seventh time. The dismissal of Anastasia Nufer may be associated with the international diplomatic efforts of the United States to dismiss.
Also on the eve of the election, Lukashenko pardoned eight political prisoners.
