Russian authorities have detained an American reporter for the Wall Street Journal on espionage charges, Russia’s top security agency has said.
The Federal Security Service (FSB), the top KGB successor agency, said on Thursday that Evan Gershkovich was detained in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg while allegedly trying to obtain classified information.

Good job
Nah he look guilty
Lock him up, all these reporters are CIA agents in the guise of reporters, volunteers & so on!
Here I don’t understand, you knew that Russia is being run by a criminal based on ICC, why would you want to go there first place?
I’ve read some of Evans articles. It’s sounds a lot like Nato propaganda.
This is a good news
By war and kidnapping and scamming, theft, sociopathic and ego tripping life, murders, and all his immorality, …putin-boy is a wicked leader. He does what is wicked in the sight of God. It’s all he knows. An outcast into the eternal fire is he. As he has sown, so shall he reap.
The harvest he’s sown is just about ripe.
Soon will come The Reapers. ⚰️ ⚫🔥👹
I would have thought, CNN…
Biden about to make a big trade for him🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Previously Russia was warn to United States of America and entire Europe,
Stutter much?? Ah.. umm… ehhh
To be honest, given the state of things, I’m surprised that more Americans currently in Russia aren’t thrown in prison.
@Craig Hughes my friend, you mistake my surprise for me wanting it. I don’t want that, I’m just surprised as I said based on how Russia and other “rogue states” operate. And especially in this time when things are very tense, oligarchs are having assets seized and even Canada holding on to an Antonov AN-124. I’d have left the moment I heard that things were about to happen.
The editorial policy of the channel makes journalists talk nonsense. If you listen to them, you might think that they have persecution mania. But in fact, what they say is just an order from the editorial office.
Russia continues to use prohibited methods, and without any evidence the Kremlin accuses the correspondent of a crime he did not commit, this case is another proof of the Kremlin’s criminal actions
They will be, don’t worry. Russians are becoming more unhinged and it shows. They can’t win anything in Ukraine so they’re going to use any chance they will have to provocate US and Europe.
Common sense is not common
Throw away the key 🇷🇺 💪 💪 💪.
😇
😂😂😂😂😂 the foolishness of Americans is just astonishing
Why would any American go to Russia during a war and after a hostage exchange? Stupidity.
More hostage diplomacy :3
Dorsa looks like Angela White
Russia is innocent that is a fact✊🏻✊🏻
Immediately my ***. US outlets are way too sofisticated.
Putin can’t beat Ukraine so he’ll beat reporters. No wonder Trump loves him.
👆🤡🤣🤣🤣
Well, let’s do the same and start jailing rusky journalists and ordinary citizens too.
Arrested because he is Jewish???
When rumour mongering has a heavy price
Why are American reporters on Russian soil at this point is beyond me.
Russia is a country at war and suddenly you have this doofus reporter asking about secret info on PMC’s in Yekaterinburg
If your an American, soldier, journalist (if any still exist), your likely up to no good. After starting and continuing this slaughter and insurgency in Ukraine, not to forget the genocide of Iraq, Afghanistan, et al, DC is a de-fact enemy of humanity anywhere you go. The people, the conscious and awake are doing all they can to defund DC and it’s tyrants but the indoctrinated woke mostly oozing from the marxist universities are enemies behind our lines, domestic threats and determined to undermine our republic. We will retake it in due time.
Free Assange first 😎😎😎😆
Again Putin, making things more and more complicated
I don’t know whether there’s any truth to this story or not, but given the actions of the American government, it’s definitely plausible.
Now if they want him back they have to lift the sanctions imposed on Russia and Iran otherwise no deal.
BUT WAIT! THERE MORE!….…
another spy bites the dust
america did the same with al jazeera journalists after 9/11 the american national festival
He knew the risk!
Big fish 🐟
Never trust the Americans.
Good, they should arrest more communists from that anti American leftest rag.
What part of don’t go there did he not understand….
Great news USA are the world’s biggest terrorists
Hmm! The story doesn’t add up. So, he’s a real dummy CIA operative who got caught in a very dummy situation. Please get James Bond 007 and Rambo on this case now to pull him out. Thanks!
Lock him and throw the key to my Windows
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA They can keep any journalist they find over there. They’re guilty of espionage over here too. All they do is subvert the American public.
It’s part of the proxy war.
Don’t play with 🔥 fire 🔥😜😜😜😜😜😜
He best be ok!!!
US need to get the message in their head that Russia and China are not gonna be afraid of their bullying and keep playing with Iraq or Somalia which is to their level 😂
Russia cannot take over Ukraine. A country right next to them. Meanwhile the USA invaded and destroyed Iraq,Syria,Afghanistan,Yugoslavia…etc all while being a whole ocean away 😉 USA is 100x more powerful than China and Russia combined
@Frog/Life S lol AmeriSwines destroyed Afghanistan n Iraq with the help of europigs te33orists they run away in Korea n Vietnam when communists back these countries lol 😆 😄 😅
The Russians don’t arrest any American properly a spy
lets deep freeze the already frozen Russian assets..😂
ripbozo
Boy Russia is too hot for Americans they go say he’s a spy walking in Plain sight.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
any and every person in russ can be detained on espionage charges – you dont need to do anything, you dont need to be a spy, as no evidence required for the FSB to arrest you, it has systems inplace to charge everybody, anytime they want to. Is part of the joy of living in pootins russ.
Let him rot in jail. US can’t be getting away with their superiority BS . You spy , you deserve what’s coming to you
Remove him now!!!
He does look like a spy looking at that picture he definitely has the look lol doesn’t mean he is
He looks jewish.
Shut up.
Stupid people think that in order to be a spy, you have to have a spy’s face.
lets be real, this dude most likely a spy, a normal journalist wouldnt go there, that guy was sent there. by the us government
Good
I thought Russia will always keep quiet and keep watching the western false medias entering their country to search some negative talks from Russia sources and claiming they’re journalists or reporters…. They have been doing it for long… Once their western leaders establishes war on other countries the so called false journalists or reporters will go to the country to claim interviewing the country’s leaders or citizens to ask them some negative and irrelevant questions so that they can have more lies to narratives to the world…. Why can’t they interview their evil leaders about their atrocities against Humanity as well??? Detain is just warning…. They should arrest the western evils claiming reporters or whatever, they’re all the same…. They can’t try and go to North Korea, I trust Kim, if they try execution is their last chance and sentence
Putin administration should stop their brutal invasion immediately.
They are destroying innocent civilian’s lives.
They are war criminals.
Whole world should blame Kremlin.
Now more and more support is needed to Ukraine.🇺🇦
NATO is losing blood and dying. New Alliences must be formed, including military collaboration.
I hope he makes it back but there’s been several warnings for our citizens to get out
Call a war a war and go to prison. In Pootin’s “federation”, journalism does not exist, there is only state approved propaganda. The true free press faces prison, so It will be interesting to see what the charges and proof for this man’s imprisonment really are…
i have no doubt he is part something suspect. od course media not concerned about assange.
what is he doing in Russia, come on now why are americans still in russia .
Most American journerists are CIA undercover agents
Al jalzeera tera kabar khudega Jay Shree Ram Jay
Gandupati bappa chutiya teri Randi maya ko suar chod diya lol 🐷 😆
We want free Ireland
Shame on you Al zal jeera
Another fake reporter ❤❤❤
What the heck he’s doing out there? Russia has their own journalists
Journalist alibi don’t make it in this day
an age when information warfare is more
deadlier than ever, the threat of WW3
is the cause of politicians and the media
that’s a spy. Wall street works and is used to spread propaganda by the US intelligence
All American journalists working in Russia are CIA operatives. Also, all social platforms are infiltrated by the CIA.
Trying to gain information is what journalists do. And you all should know better than to frame it like it isn’t and buying into the BS that Russia is spouting. Al Jazeera: tools of mother Russia.
I believe the Russians side of the story. They have nothing to gain by making a false allegation & said that they caught him.
Haha, aaahahaha haaaaahahaha. Naive and troubling unintelligent.
Right, let’s start arresting ruzzan journalists all around the world.
Hes fckd 😂😂
He thinks he is smarter
It is well known that foreign intelligence use different covers like ‘journalism’ or ngo to hide their real job.
Good for Russia.
Why offer yourself up as fodder for prisoner exchange?
What irresponsible newspaper would send a reporter to a military industrial complex center of Russia during war? The WSJ should be called to the carpet to answer questions in that regard.
Cases like these must be stopped. We need to persist in assisting the Ukrainians in their quest for complete freedom from the Russians. Only then can we restore law and order. Regrettably, we find ourselves in a situation where those with weapons wield power. Negotiating with terrorists is pointless, and military assistance is the only way to rescue all those being held captive.
@Daniel Dach armchear soldier.
@Daniel Dach “those with weapons wield power” is what the U.S. has been doing for decades (and continues to), flexing military muscle across the globe.
It’s not just a “Russia” problem.
Russia has charged Gershkovich with military espionage, while the US government is trying to secure his release through negotiations with the Kremlin. The fact that Russia is refusing to release him further highlights the Kremlin’s use of terror tactics against both military personnel and civilians.
Russia accuses a correspondent of international publication of espionage, despite the lack of evidence, in Russia, there is a practice of arresting people who interfere with the Kremlin regime, now this tactic has begun to be used not only against Russian journalists but also foreign, such cases must be punished, moreover, Russia refuses to cooperate with the US on liberation an innocent man, which also confirms the terrorist tactics of the Kremlin, helping Ukraine in victory over Russia will help not only to relieve the suffering of the civilians of Ukraine but also to restore law and order
Don’t be surprise cause corporate media is a tool for CIA and majority of these big media bosses are CIA contractors…
Stay Strong Russia 🇷🇺 💪 💙
Love From India 🇮🇳
Nothing but Multi-polar world That’s all we want including my nieghbours like China and Pakistan 🇵🇰 😊
Russia must not be allowed to go beyond Ukraine, especially considering that they are waging an inhuman war
What is happening in Ukraine is just terrible
Putin is war criminal
Russia is trying in every way to confirm its status as a terrorist country. To detain an innocent journalist. At the same time, Russian journalists hanging on TV are real propagandists
Putin must answer for his crimes!
The aid to Ukraine must increase every day, otherwise this war will drag on and last for years.
Russia has almost no resources left to wage this war (((
The world came together to help Ukraine when they saw what Russia had done to Ukraine. Nice to see how the world against violence and terror
Putin will send people until they run out because he will not be able to admit that he lost the war like Hitler
All partner countries should continue to supply weapons, as this could turn into a very protracted conflict.
In no case should we stop supplying weapons to Ukraine, because the terrorist country will continue to bomb peaceful cities in Ukraine.
It’s terrible what Russia has done. Ukraine needs military assistance to end this war. I don’t want this war to last another year
What Russia is doing is just a nightmare …
I also wish this war ends in this year
@Mees Garratt we also suffer from Russian invasion. Every country suffers from Putin’s terror now
Because the Russians are shamefully shelling peaceful settlements in Ukraine, civilian infrastructure and must be punished for this!!!
I doubt that Russia has any tactics at all, because the only thing they can do is bomb residential buildings!
Russia should be isolated from the entire civilized world. This country has no place among democracy and freedom of speech.
I also think so. Putin has destroyed everything and even more – thru reputation is awful
Russia is simply terrorists who have invaded someone else’s territory and committed genocide against the Ukrainian people!
The chance of being captured for ransom the same as it is now in Somalia.
Ukraine has already suffered a lot from this terrible war because terrorists continue to do terrible things on Ukrainian territory.
They have been suffering from
Russian terror more than 9 years. They deserve to become freedom from Putin’s tyranny
Ukraine really needs airplanes and tanks to win this terrible war, so the world should help it for its own good.
I also think Ukraine deserves to liberate all territories back
Russia doesn’t want to go on the negotiations with the USA government. They refuse everything. We have to do something
I didn’t expect anything good from Russia. Obviously, people in that country have no rights at all, they can arrest or kill anyone they want. The Russians are terrorists and criminals who cannot be negotiated with. I think it is necessary to support Ukraine even more and bring Russia’s defeat closer
In Russia, a person has no rights in principle, and if their government sees that you are against them, the consequences can be catastrophic.
It saddens me to realize what is happening in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories. There is a real genocide going on there where people are being killed and absolutely everyone who is unwanted is being imprisoned. I hope that Ukraine will soon receive enough weapons to liberate all its territories and defeat this evil
😂😂Learn well
Can the media fraternity now regain their moral voice and organize a sustained campaign to free *Julian Assange* from prison?
