Russia, U.S. Swap Prisoners, Freeing Ksenia Karelina

ai generated text

The information provided is about a prisoner swap between Russia and the United States, facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, in which two individuals were exchanged. Artur Petrov, a Russian citizen, was extradited to the United States in 2024 and faced up to 20 years in prison for violating export control laws. In exchange, Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American citizen who was sentenced to 12 years in a Russian prison colony for treason, was released.

    1. We're incredibly grateful that she is free — but the work will not end until all Americans and Ukrainians held unjustly in Russian captivity are released and Russia's ambitions to destroy and conquer Ukraine are defeated.
