Considering that this is mostly about Russia doing a victory lap, I don't think so.
If they tried to keep him there it would kind of spoil the whole thing and tip the lie of their supposed benevolence.
Much better for the PR to let him go and wish him luck. Probably even have a send off ceremony, give him some kind of medal?
