American Imprisoned in Russia for 5 Years Fears Being Left Behind in Prisoner Swap Talks
• Paul Whelan, an American imprisoned in Russia, says it's "unfathomable" the U.S. has "left me behind" in prisoner swap negotiations.
• Whelan has been in Russian prison for 5 years on espionage charges he and the U.S. reject as baseless.
• Russia recently rejected a "new and significant" U.S. proposal to free Whelan and American journalist Evan Gershkovich.
• The U.S. says both Whelan and Gershkovich are wrongfully detained, but Russia wants a prisoner swap.
• Whelan worries he'll be "left in the dust" as the U.S. negotiates other prisoner deals with Russia.
