Ksenia Karelina, a Russian-American ballerina, has been released from a Russian prison in a high-profile prisoner swap between the US and Russia. She had been sentenced to 12 years in a penal colony for allegedly committing high treason by donating $51 to a Ukrainian charity.

The swap also involved the release of Russian-German national Arthur Petrov. The case has drawn international attention due to the severity of the punishment for a relatively minor act of support for Ukraine.
