The title of the video is "who are the prisioners", and you totally nailed it with the "Vadim Karasikov and 9 others"...

1:33 is that supposed to be a joke? or is this what you call journalism? there are others on the russian side who have been identified. you are refusing to identify any because you are trying to downplay the price paid by western countries by simply not naming it. also what ineptitude exactly was behind the use of two different zoom states of the placeholder image being used? xD

Vadim Krasikov and 9 others of no importance whatsoever... Oh, yes, we got it π π π

These people who go to Russia from western countries should sign a release stating they understand their lives are imperiled by going there with no expectation of rescue. Why we even allow our citizens to go to these other dangerous countries is beyond me.
