American Ballerina Ksenia Karelina Arrested By Putin Thugs Over $50

Vladimir Putin's war against the United States and women has taken a turn as Russian thugs have arrested a dual U.S.-Russian citizen for giving $50 to a Ukrainian charity. 

Ballerina Ksenia Karelina went to Russia in late December to visit family, but she was arrested in January by police in Yekaterinburg on a charge of "petty hooliganism" but that was quickly raised to treason by Putin's thug security force who has now shown off their catch to the world via a video where Ksenia's face is covered while being walked through a jail. 

Russian news outlet URA.ru reported Tuesday that Ksenia is accused of transferring $51.80 to Razom, a Ukrainian charity site, which the Russian news outlet claims was then used to "help the Ukrainian army."

The outlet further reports that Ksenia now faces 12 to 20 years in prison. 

"Since February 2022, she has been proactively collecting funds in the interests of one of the Ukrainian organizations, which were subsequently used to purchase tactical medicine items, equipment, weapons and ammunition by the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Russia’s Federal Security Service announced in a statement posted to its website.

Let's face it, Putin's on the hunt for prized possessions and if you're remotely tied to the United States and looking to visit Russia, you might want to think twice about that plan. Just this week, it was announced that Putin's gang of thugs is hunting for Lolita Bogdanova, an OnlyFans model who claims to be based in California who pulled a topless stunt on Red Square in 2021. 

A pro-Putin media outlet claimed that Bogdanova had made it onto a Russian Interior Ministry wanted list that doesn't bode well for her if she were to ever return to Russia or come in contact with agents who are hunting for her. 

According to Karelina's former mother-in-law, Eleanora Srebroski, the ballerina married her son Evgeny in 2013 after coming to the U.S. via a work-study program. The couple later split up and Karelina moved from Maryland to Los Angeles where she found work as an aesthetician and spa manager. 

The spa says Ksenia went back to Russia to see her grandmother, her parents and a sister.
