Russian justice extends detention of American reporter Evan Gershkovich until June 30. The Wall Street Journal reporter was arrested at the end of 2023 by the FSB during a report in Yekaterinburg.
He rejects these accusations of “espionage”, punishable by 20 years in prison, just like the United States, his newspaper and his relatives. Washington accuses Moscow of having taken him hostage to exchange him, like several American citizens arrested in recent years in Russia.
