Generally speaking, if you are a citizen of country X and you are in country X accused of violating the laws of country X then any citizenship of country Y that you might have is irrelevant.

It's true even if you aren't a citizen of X. Griner isn't escaping prison by not being a Russian citizen. Neither are all the kidnapped Ukrainian children.

OK, but Griner at least receives consular assistance from the US government - she wouldn't even get that if she were a Russian dual-national.
