YEKATERINBURG, Russia—A dual Russian-American citizen, Ksenia Karelina, was sentenced to 12 years in prison on Aug. 15 after a Russian court found her guilty of treason for donating money to a charity supporting Ukraine.
The Los Angeles resident, a spa worker, pleaded guilty at her closed trial in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, where her case was heard by the same court and judge that convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich of espionage in July.
