Chris Van Heerden expressed his shock and emotions after Ksenia Karelina wasn't included in the U.S.-Russia prisoner swap, being emotional, angry, and frustrated.
Karelina, charged with treason for a small donation to a charity in support of Ukraine, is isolated in Russian custody with no contact allowed from U.S. officials or the embassy.
Russia's practice of not swapping political prisoners until legal procedures are completed delays Karelina's potential release, with a trial and possible 20-year sentence looming.
