Russia sentences American woman to 12 years for donating $50 to Ukraine

https://www.euronews.com/2024/08/15/...on-for-treason

US-Russian dual national Ksenia Khavana has been sentenced to 12 years in a Russian prison for treason after allegedly raising money for the Ukrainian military.

Khavana was convicted on charges linked to a $51 (€46) donation to a US charity.

Russia’s Federal Security Service said she “proactively collected money in the interests of one of the Ukrainian organisations, which was subsequently used to purchase tactical medical supplies, equipment, weapons, and ammunition for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.”

Also, seems like a light sentence for treason to your country.

Nothing new under the sun

Similar with Canada’s trucker rally.

US also has jailed film producers for creating anti war films. https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/arti...-d-california/

There would be a firestorm in the media if this ever happened in the United States. People here are super up in arms about their civil rights and freedoms. But treason is treason and Russia is in active conflict with Ukraine. I’m not educated enough to speak on the conflict itself. I like Russia and its culture/women but also one of my favorite contemporary rock bands is Ukrainian so definitely makes things tough.

Do I think her punishment is excessive hard to tell honestly from my perspective.

Presume she was a spy and they nailed her on a technicality or made it up altogether.

An average American still living in Russia since the sanctions is crazy.

She committed treason so she should feel lucky to be walking away with her life as a traitor.

Is she an American or a Russian? Very confused. Not sure how it can be treason if she's an American.

Edit:

Oh she has dual citizenship. OP needs to change his click bait title because that's how it reads.



I also don't see anything wrong with this. If America was at war and one of you morons donated to the country we were fighting I'd report you to the FBI asap.

It will be a show trial where she gets 30 years of hard labour or suchlike, then she will be part of the upcoming swap deal.

Russian who moved to America & has duel-citizenship. Like the ones in Iran etc they pick them up when they return to visit family & then throw them in jail on these bs spying/treason charges for political gamesmanship.

Doesn’t matter, you’re in their country and live by their laws

Britney griner the basketball **** should have been given a life sentence for her degenerate vaping device, however Russia was very lenient and she was over there for less than a year.

In all honesty, its a good thing Russia exist. They're the only ones that's able to stop the West from the cold war era. If the US wouldn't be kept in check by the Russians, the US would've tried to take a lot of land from around the world. And because Russia exist next the the Asian giant, they have no choice but to be allies with the Asians, otherwise caucasians would take 4/6th of all major continents through force. Caucasians are finding it more difficult to control other countries as they continue to become militarily competitive.

What does this all mean? It means things are becoming increasingly competitive and you have to really find ways to offer more.

In Australia when muslims send money to their cousins overseas who are fighting wars, we call that terrorism.

12 years is ridiculous, there's no doubt about that. Otherwise, she does not have an american name, but a Russian one (Ksenia). If she doesn't like the current regime in Russia and has an American citizenship, she shouldn't spend time in russia and should instead live in the states and work there, so help fund Ukraine's war effort.

He says without a hint of irony at all.

Proof yet again that immigrants are a cancer. This Paki/Indian parasite celebrates the UK becoming a dystopian police state if the native population are targeted by it for criticising the immigration he benefits from at their expense. You are one of the most disgusting pieces of chit on this forum.

It rather depends on if Starmer decides to extend these powers to cover other things-then it becomes dystopian & like 1984. People going on FB & Twitter & encouraging other people to burn people alive, to go & riot, attack the police, attack other people, their property, to set vehicles on fire, to attack British shops & loot them etc is something that has to be punished.

These scum thought they would get off scot-free because of 14 years of the Tories tut-tutting, while really endorsing their behaviour, because it suited their purposes. Labour are not going to stand for yobs claiming to be patriots laying siege to the country-those quick jail sentences quashed the far-right/football hooligan thuggery right away.
