A Russian court sentenced Ksenia Karelina to 12 years in jail for treason after donating $51 to a charity supporting Ukraine. Karelina, with American and Russian citizenship, pleaded guilty in a closed trial. Living in Los Angeles, she became a US citizen in 2021 but was arrested during a visit to Yekaterinburg. Prosecutors wanted a 15-year sentence, but she received 12 years in a penal colony for high treason.
