"Arrested in Russia: The Case of Ksenia Karelina's Alleged Treason"

A Los Angeles woman with dual U.S. and Russian citizenship has been arrested in Russia on charges of treason, accused of collecting money for the Ukrainian military. Ksenia Khavana, a ballet dancer and spa worker, had been visiting her family in Russia when she was detained. The Federal Security Service alleges that she was raising funds for a Ukrainian organization, while her employer insists she was collecting money for humanitarian aid. If convicted, Khavana faces up to 20 years in prison. The U.S. government is seeking more information and consular access to her.
