A Russian-American ballerina, who was accused of “high treason” in Russia after donating $51 to a Ukrainian charity, is facing a closed-door trial in Russia.
Ksenia Karelina, who was born in Russia and became a United States citizen in 2021, faces a sentence of 12 years to life in prison if found guilty, Reuters reported. Her trial began on Thursday in a court in Yekaterinburg and is being held in secret.
