Ksenia Karelina, a dual U.S.-Russian citizen, faces a potential 15-year prison sentence on treason charges for donating approximately $50 to a charity supporting the Ukrainian military. The prosecution has argued that her contribution was used to purchase tactical supplies for Ukrainian forces amidst Russia's ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Karelina, who immigrated to the U.S. in 2012 and became a citizen in 2021, was arrested by the FSB upon her visit to Russia in early 2023. The court in Yekaterinburg is expected to deliver a verdict on August 15, following closing arguments from both sides. Karelina's case highlights the increasing scrutiny and legal actions against individuals accused of supporting Ukraine, as Russia intensifies its crackdown on dissent. The charity she donated to, Razom, focuses on humanitarian assistance and has expressed dismay over her prosecution.
