Anastasiia Kolokoltseva was detained by FSB officers at the Russian-Ukrainian border in early September 2024. It appears she had left for Ukraine at least a year prior but subsequently returned to Russia for unknown reasons. She was charged with illegally crossing the state border and attempted high treason in the form of defecting to the enemy—allegedly, she had attempted to join the Russian Volunteer Corps to fight on Ukraine's side. The court sentenced Kolokoltseva to 14 years.
