3:30Now PlayingMoscow freed a Russian American convicted of treason in exchange for a Russian German man jailed on smuggling charges in the U.S., a prisoner swap that was completed Thursday as the two countries met to repair ties.
“They released the young ballerina and she is now out, and that was good. So we appreciate that,” President Donald Trump said of Ksenia Karelina, who was expected to arrive back in the U.S. on Thursday evening. She was arrested in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg in February 2024 and convicted of treason on charges stemming from a donation of about $52 to a charity aiding Ukraine. U.S. authorities have called the case “absolutely ludicrous.”
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor joined “NewsNation Now” to discuss the swap — and the timing of it.
