News summary

Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American woman and Los Angeles spa employee, faces a potential 15-year prison sentence for treason after donating approximately $50 to the charity Razom, which supports Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict. Karelina, who pleaded guilty during her trial in Yekaterinburg, was arrested by the FSB after her donation was discovered on her mobile phone while visiting family in Russia. Her lawyer, Mikhail Mushailov, criticized the harshness of the prosecution's request, arguing that Karelina cooperated with the investigation. Razom expressed its shock over her arrest, highlighting its humanitarian work rather than military support. Karelina's sentencing is scheduled for August 15, and her lawyer hopes for a future prisoner exchange after the verdict is finalized. The case reflects broader Russian crackdowns on dissent, particularly concerning support for Ukraine.
