ALBAWABA - Russian news agencies reported that Russian authorities have arrested a dual citizen of the United States and Russia for colluding with Ukraine and funding the Ukrainian army.  

Russia's FSB security services said on Tuesday that they had arrested a US-Russian lady on charges of espionage for aiding the Ukrainian army, Russian official media claimed.

The FSB in the central city of Yekaterinburg said it had "suppressed the illegal activities of a 33-year-old resident of Los Angeles, who has dual citizenship in Russia and the United States, involved in providing financial assistance to a foreign state," Russian state news agencies reported, citing an FSB statement.
