A Russian legal NGO said the woman, named by Russian media as Ksenia Khavana, may stand accused of transferring $51 (£40) to a Ukrainian charity in February 2022, on the day Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of the country. She faces up to 20 years in prison.
Russia’s FSB reported on Tuesday that it had detained a 33-year-old woman from Los Angeles who holds dual citizenship. Reports said she had attended the Ural Federal University in Ekaterinburg and later married an American citizen and moved to the US.
So, let me get this straight, in Russia, sending 50 bucks to charity is more treason than driving a tank half the way to Moscow, downing a few helicopters on the way? I wonder where putting flowers in a monument falls into this scale.
Didn’t that guy die in a plane crash lol
They wanted to make it look more real so it wasn’t a 3rd story window with a bullet hole in his back
The reason he didn’t go to prison was because he still had control of his PMC, and they mostly just wanted him to stop.
How fucking dumb one must be to fly to Russia these days.
She likely has family there.
So? Yeah that sucks but that doesn’t mean you hand yourself over to Russia. She absolutely should have known better.
Spend thousands of dollars imprisoning an innocent lady over a $51 donation.
Why are you like this Russia?
But what you don’t see is that she’s probably not gonna make it through her whole sentence, saving thousands of dollars.
Expect Russia to start arresting any Americans it can. Their spy/shill who was the Republicans’ main witness has been outed and is going to prison. The Russians will want to trade.
Russia is going to lose because Russia is spending their time and resources on stupid petty emotional damage like this. Russia is out in right field chasing butterflies because the game matters less to them than whatever catches their attention.
Idiot. What did she expect
She probably has family there.
I believe this is not about the amount and more about the action by itself.
