WSJ Reporter Evan Gershkovich Imprisoned in Russia for Doing His Job
TL;DR
Evan Gershkovich, an American journalist, has been wrongfully detained by the Russian government on "trumped up" charges, according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Senator Bob Menendez. Evan's case is fundamentally different from other Americans detained in Russia, as he was abducted for simply doing his job. His arrest is a signal of the new reality in which Russia is operating, where all the old rules and norms no longer apply. Evan's arrest could be a signal that Russia is looking for another prisoner exchange.
