  1. They will request the US to release a Russian muderer if they want her back

  2. What ludicrous treason charges! Honestly, have the Russian authorities nothing better to do? Why on earth would anyone wish to venture to that ridiculous country.

  3. Go home and follow her Igor. We don’t want you here either

  4. Be more hope if she had a girlfriend and played hoop

  5. I feel bad for her, that must be scary. I don't get why she sent Ukraine money? It's a big red flag for Russia.

  6. You know Russia too well, why did you allow her go there?

  7. there's no dual citizenship between america and russia. and it was so, even before the war. you just keep and use your inner russian passport at your own risk, especially now.

  8. SURELY PRAY 4 YOU OF COURSE….❤❤❤…FAITH. N WE CARE ABOUT HER…AMERICAN. N. NO TREASON AT ALL I BELIEVE….BEST WISHES PLEASE

  9. She looked smashing worthy of Sports Illustrated walking on the beach in a two piece suit as shown on Times of India. Why US news channels keep showing her prancing about flat-chested in a tutu?

  10. She traveled to Russia, a life changing mistake. She is but a toy in Putin’s monstrous head.

  11. He couldn't help but know what she was going to do in Russia, he didn't seem to care

  12. It’s more of a wellness check 😂 but really this would be scary…

  13. Hey, Americans stay away from Russia!!!!

  14. She's a Russian citizen as well. What is with these American citizens? Do they not know where they are? Back where?

  15. Russia is much nicer to live in. I'd rather stay there than this USA dump.

  16. STFU@thewatchfuleye8401 she aint home she in HELL

  17. Boyfriend of detained woman in Russia says she 'needs to be back home' — She is back home in Russia!

  18. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. Trump loves Russia Republicans loves Russia. Republicans are now a communist party
    Trump said Russia do what the hell you want. Republicans does this make you proud.
