Ksenia Khavana was sentenced to 12 years in prison for treason by a Russian court for donating $51 to a Ukraine-supporting charity, highlighting harsh penalties for minor actions.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby referred to Khavana's sentencing as "nothing less than vindictive cruelty," pointing to a lack of justice in Russia.
The Russian Federal Security Service claimed Khavana collected money for a Ukrainian charity that aided the armed forces, intensifying the treason charges against her.
The charity Razom for Ukraine aims to support Ukraine through various projects, though contributing a small amount was criminalized and led to severe repercussions for Khavana.
