Caged ballerina freed by Putin in US prisoner swap

Ksenia Karelina, 34, was arrested in February 2024 in Yekaterinburg and later sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of treason.

The allegation stemmed from a £40 donation she made in 2022 to the US-based charity Razom for Ukraine, which gives humanitarian aid to Kyiv.

Ms Karelina, an amateur ballerina and spa worker who moved to the US in 2012 and became a citizen in 2021, was visiting family in Russia when she was detained.
