Russia arrests US citizen on treason charges for charity donation

Russia has arrested an American–Russian dual citizen on treason charges after she allegedly donated about $50 to a Ukrainian charity.

Video released by Russia’s federal security services showed a 33-year-old woman, identified by the First Department, a collective of lawyers, as Ksenia Khavana, being handcuffed and escorted out of a building in the Ural city of Yekaterinburg with a cream-coloured hat pulled down over her eyes. The video then cuts to a shot of the woman standing inside a glass courtroom cage.
