    Russian-American woman on trial for treason after 'donating funds to Ukraine'

    A woman is facing up to 20 years in a Russian prison after making a small donation to a non-profit organisation raising funds for Ukraine.

    Ksenia Karelina was born in Russia but moved to the US more than a decade ago and has been working as an aesthetician at a Los Angeles spa.

    She was detained by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) in January while visiting her parents and young sister in Yekaterinburg.

    Her former mother-in-law, Eleonora Srebroski, told Reuters in February, Ms Karelina had travelled home in January after her boyfriend surprised her with a plane ticket.

    She had told her boyfriend Russia was "safe" and he shouldn't worry about her travelling there.
