Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American ballerina from Los Angeles, went on trial for treason in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on June 20, after being arrested earlier this year while visiting family. Authorities accused her of raising money to send to the Ukrainian army, citing a $50 donation to a Ukrainian charity found on her phone during a police search in January.
