A Russian-American citizen who was arrested for donating £39 to a US-based charity providing humanitarian support to Ukraine has been released in a prisoner swap between Moscow and Washington.

Amateur ballerina Ksenia Karelina, a Los Angeles resident, had been in prison in Russia for over a year after being found guilty for treason in Yekaterinburg and sentenced to 12 years in a penal colony.

Karelina was reportedly exchanged in Abu Dhabi for dual German-Russian citizen Arthur Petrov, who was arrested in Cyprus in 2023 and accused of illegally exporting microelectronics to Russia for manufacturers working with the Russian military.

Red heat alerts issued in UK, France, Italy and Spain | BBC News

Published

on



Red heat alerts have been issued in the UK, France, Spain and other nations across western and central Europe as heatwave conditions are forecast to intensify in the coming days with highs of more than 40C.

Day time temperatures are due to hit 40C this week in France and in Spain temperatures are set to peak above 40C in some areas.

Meanwhile, the UK and Germany are both bracing for its hottest June day on record, with temperatures forecast to rise above 35C in the UK and 40C in Germany.

The rising temperatures are being driven by hot air moving north from the Sahara desert, which is in turn trapping hot air over the affected areas, with forecasters suggesting the conditions could result in one of the longest heatwaves in recent years.
