Russia Detains Dual US-Russian Citizen for Treason
The story reports:
“Russia’s Federal Security Service has detained a woman with dual Russian-U.S. citizenship in the Urals mountain city of Yekaterinburg on suspicion of treason for raising funds for Ukraine’s armed forces, the TASS news agency reported.
The 33-year-old resident of Los Angeles had been collecting funds for a Ukrainian organization whose ultimate beneficiary was the Ukrainian army, the FSB said, according to TASS.
‘The Federal Security Service in Yekaterinburg suppressed the illegal activities of a 33-year-old resident of Los Angeles, who has dual citizenship of Russia and the United States,’ TASS quoted the FSB as saying.
TASS did not name the woman.”
Dual citizenship or not, it would seem that doing anything political in Russia has the danger of something like this happening. The question now is “now what”? Can American authorities get her out – out of the clink and then out of Russia altogether? It would seem wise not to bet the ranch on that happening any time soon.
