TL;DR Summary
Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that he has "no doubt" that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russian security services last week during a reporting trip and accused of espionage. The official designation would increase the US government's efforts to win Gershkovich's release, and supervision of his case would shift to the Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs.
