Russia Detains Dual US-Russian Citizen For Treason

Russia’s Federal Security Service has detained a woman with dual Russian-US citizenship in the Urals mountain city of Yekaterinburg on suspicion of treason for raising funds for Ukraine’s armed forces.

The 33-year-old resident of Los Angeles had been collecting funds for a Ukrainian organisation whose ultimate beneficiary was the Ukrainian army, the FSB said.

“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,” FSB added.

Report says the FSB did not name the woman.
