Russia arrests Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, accuses him of 'spying' for U.S.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Thursday in a post on the Telegram messaging app that what Gershkovich"was doing in Yekaterinburg has nothing to do with journalism. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the status of a 'foreign correspondent', a journalistic visa and accreditation are used by foreigners in our country to cover up activities that are not journalism.

In a statement, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken voiced deep concern over"Russia's widely-reported detention of a U.S. citizen journalist" and said the State Department was"in contact" with the newspaper about the situation. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Gershkovich's arrest was"unacceptable" and condemned Russia's actions"in the strongest terms." She said the State Department had been"in direct touch with the Russian government on this matter," and urged Americans living in or visiting Russia to"depart immediately."

Kirby said they had no indication there would be any action American journalists, but it is too soon to tell if it is part of some larger movement."We were just as surprised by this as all of you were," Kirby said.
