He recalled the Robert Levinson Act of 2013, which allows US authorities to impose sanctions against countries where fellow citizens are allegedly illegally detained.
“We told the Americans not to go to Russia, we imposed sanctions on them using the Levinson Act and we will do it again,” Kirby said in an interview with Fox News, commenting on the latest prisoner exchange that took place in Ankara.
Recall that on August 1, an exchange of 26 prisoners from seven countries took place at the Ankara airport. The Public Relations Center of the FSB of Russia clarified that as a result of the exchange in Ankara, 8 Russians were returned to their homeland.
The exchanged Americans later arrived in the United States and were welcomed by Biden and Harris.
