If it happened in Russia I would agree if he broke Russian laws while in Russia, he should face Russian consequences. It all seems really simple to me. If you commit a crime in a foreign country you are typically subject to their laws.

The discussion here is regrading the behavior of the US government when a US citizen was detained by the client regime of the US. These are the services that US would normally offer that were denied in this case https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/arrest-detention.html
