A donation of $51. What is known about the treason case against the 32-year-old Russian woman from Los Angeles?

According to law enforcement officers, since February 2022, the woman allegedly collected money “in the interests of one of the Ukrainian organizations,” which was then directed to the purchase of “tactical medical items, equipment, means of destruction, and ammunition” for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ksenia was detained on January 27 for “minor hooliganism” and arrested for 14 days. However, she never left the detention center – on February 7, she was detained already in a criminal case. The charge of “state treason” carries a punishment of 12 to 20 years of imprisonment.
