- A lawyer for a Russian-American citizen serving a 12-year prison sentence in Russia told Reuters on Thursday that she had been released in a prisoner swap between Moscow and Washington.

Ksenia Karelina was found guilty last year of treason by a Russian court for donating money to a U.S.-based charity providing humanitarian support to Ukraine.

Karelina left for the U.S. on a plane from Abu Dhabi on Thursday morning, her Russian lawyer, Mikhail Mushailov, told Reuters.
