How $50 for Ukraine led to desperate battle to free LA ballerina held in Russia
Amateur ballerina #Ksenia #Karelina, an American and Russian dual citizen who celebrated the new year with a trip to Istanbul with her partner Chris van Heerden, a South African professional boxer, before heading to Russia to visit family, was 🔸arrested and detained by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) on 28 January🔸 in her hometown of Yekaterinburg, about 1,100 miles east of Moscow.
Karelina may be the latest victim in a chess match over detainees between the US and Russia, which dates back more than 15 years when, in 2008, the US Drug Enforcement Administration arrested #Viktor #Bout, a former Soviet military officer and translator, on conspiracy charges. Bout was eventually traded in 2022 for the WNBA champion #Brittney #Griner, who Russian officials had arrested for possessing vaporizer cartridges containing less than a gram of hash oil.
In March last year, Russian officials arrested the Wall Street Journal reporter #Evan #Gershkovich in the same place as Karelina, Yekaterinburg. Gershkovich and the ex-US marine #Paul #Whelan, arrested in 2018, are being held on bogus espionage charges, according to the US government.
In January, Moscow also arrested the English teacher #Robert #Woodland #Romanov, a dual US-Russian citizen, on drug charges.
And now Karelina.
Van Heerden is desperate to raise awareness and money for his partner’s legal defense and return.
Her plane landed in San Antonio, Texas. Griner was freed from Russia in exchange for notorious international arms dealer Viktor Bout.
What tremendous news #Brittney Griner.
