Considering the case of the American athlete (or whoever she was) who was jailed because she had given a few dollars to some Ukrainian relief fund and then traveled to Russia, this person would obviously have a claim for amnesty.
It was a Russian amateur ballerina (whatever that means). People forget (and news outlets omit on purpose for more sensational news) the fact that US government has always stated that they cannot guarantee any efforts to protect or defend citizens who have dual citizenship while in the country of the other citizenship.
Does not invalidate the asylum issue, I am just providing a warning that I am always cognizant of when traveling to other countries - US citizenship potentially means nothing if you are in a country where you are also a citizen.
