American Ballerina Arrested in Russia for Alleged Treason Over Ukraine Support

American-Russian ballerina Ksenia Karelina, with dual citizenship, has been arrested in Russia and is facing life in prison for allegedly donating $51 to Ukraine's war effort. The Federal Security Service accused her of collecting funds for the Ukrainian military and participating in public actions in support of the Kyiv regime. The U.S. government is seeking more information and consular access to Karelina, but faces challenges due to Russia not recognizing dual citizenship. This arrest comes amid heightened U.S.-Russian tensions, with concerns that Moscow may be using jailed Americans as bargaining chips.
