Russia charged an American correspondent for the Wall Street Journal with spying, in a case certain to worsen Moscow’s diplomatic feud with Washington over the war in Ukraine and likely to further isolate Russia. | Reuters
He was brought to Moscow, where a court at a closed hearing ordered him held in pre-trial detention until May 29.
“The Wall Street Journal vehemently denies the allegations from the FSB and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, Evan Gershkovich. We stand in solidarity with Evan and his family,” the newspaper said. The Russian TV report noted that the Yekaterinburg region where he was detained is a major hub of Russia’s defense industry, suggesting this was the object of his “curiosity.”
The arrest was “a frontal attack on all foreign correspondents who still work in Russia. And it means that the FSB is off the leash,” wrote Andrei Soldatov, a Russian journalist outside the country who specializes in the security services. Ukraine has been on the defensive for nearly five months but says it is planning a counteroffensive soon.
Deputy defense minister Hanna Malyar said in a social media post that losses were inevitable, but “the enemy’s losses are many times greater.”
