Family of Frenchman jailed in Russia hopes he can be freed 'during holidays' — AFP

The family of a French researcher jailed in Russia hopes he can be freed during the New Year holidays and Orthodox Christmas on January 7, their lawyer told AFP on Thursday.

Laurent Vinatier's family remains "cautiously optimistic" following the Kremlin's announcement that Moscow had made an offer to Paris regarding his fate, said lawyer Frederic Belot.

"We have every confidence in French diplomacy, which is doing its utmost," he added, expressing hope that Vinatier's fate would be discussed during possible talks between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron.
