Evan Gershkovich
The U.S. ambassador to Russia visited jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on Tuesday, reports Ann Simmons of The Journal.
Simmons writes, “Tuesday’s visit is the fifth to Gershkovich by U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy since the reporter was detained.
“On Tuesday, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow posted a statement on the social-media platform X, saying that ‘Evan remains in good spirits despite his challenging circumstances. We continue to call for his immediate release,’ it said.
“The Biden administration has said Gershkovich, the first American journalist arrested on an espionage accusation in Russia since the end of the Cold War, isn’t a spy and has never worked for the government. The State Department has designated the reporter as wrongfully detained, a status that unlocks a broad U.S. government effort to free him.”
