The United States Army has confirmed that a Russian soldier has detained an American soldier. The soldier was detained in Vladivostok, Russia, on charges of criminal misconduct. The Russian Federation notified the U.S. Department of State in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The soldier was not on official business and is accused of stealing from a woman. This incident comes at a time of high tensions between the U.S. and Russia, especially as the U.S. provides aid to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Rep. Michael McCaul expressed deep concern over the detention, warning Americans not to travel to Russia. This incident threatens to further strain relations between the two countries.
