Russia’s main security agency said it had detained a Wall Street Journal reporter for what it described as espionage. The Federal Security Service said Thursday it had detained Evan Gershkovich, a U.S.
It was long ago that all Americans were told to evacuate from Russia for their safety. He did not and made it known by his behavior. I have no sympathy for this individual.
Good job FSB!
Americans have plenty of Russian journalists on their territory - do the same!
Most journalists are intel operatives. Most countries assume that foreign journalists are spies, and have them followed 24/7. This has been standard for decades. This fool got caught because the Russians are sending a message to the west.
I think I've got a solution! should get FBI to arrest FoxNews's TuckerCarlson for being a Russian Intelligence Agent and then... PRISONER SWAP!!!
Every now and then, common sense must prevail. It is common knowledge that it is dangerous for U.S. citizens in Russia. It's even dangerous for Russians in Russia.
russia really crime barbarians county
He’s not a black female lesbian that plays professional sports so he’s probably stuck there

As a former reporter turned cia officer turned geopolitical media commentator, I know for a fact that usa does NOT use American journalism for cover. evangershkovich is NOT a spy
Shouldn't we strongly condemn this action and claim the Putin allegations of spying are baseless?
At this point in the game, I don't trust any main stream media source. I wouldn't be one bit surprised he was a spy for the US government. We all learned that MSM worked hand in hand with the federal govt. to do their work for them. Too bad. Not my worry.
Maybe you can send KimStrassel in to negotiate....😂😂😂
POTUS now is the fucking time to send your best army 🪖 man in Ukraine or Russia to protect ur loyal USA citizens in foreign soil. Be brave chocolate boy
You're owned by Murdoch, whose news organization routinely promotes Russian propaganda. Have him take care of it. Putin needs cash for his war that Murdoch's minions support.
whca This will be an interesting conundrum for Rupert Murdoch pro Putin mouthpieces.
Acosta Assange ?
what is he king there in the first place? your journal needs attention ?
Espionnage is democracie for Putin.
They better not hurt him
Nice to hear that 😂
Apex_WW A new precedent has been created that if foreign countries arrest Americans, the Biden administration will trade them for imprisoned Russian citizens. We live in a dangerous new world where Americans are a target anywhere on earth.
bradyafr Using him as a pawn to get some more bad guys back (like Viktor Bout for Griner).
Hope he's gonna be released immediately........
Hang in there Evan 🙏
Acosta So he was kidnapped from his office in Washington and carried way to Russia? I am astonished. Lot of magic thinking amongst the media. They believe they should be able to go anywhere in the world with complete safety.
Acosta Stop sending anyone in this corrupted country!!! They don’t care about international laws. They will use him as a bargain chip to get something else
“gathering information about a Russian military enterprise,” Is...reporting. So guilty...of doing his literal job?
On Feb 13 US State Dept - 'Do not travel to Russia due to the unpredictable consequences of the unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian military forces, the potential for harassment and the singling out of U.S. citizens for detention by Russian government security
Acosta It's a bad look having this particular story behind a paywall
Yep, this has nothing to do with Biden being weak and inept, and a US military more concerned with race than projecting strength.
This just really seems so silly. We are to all intents and purposes at war with Russia. Why are these (bad word) still in Russia?
Pretty sure Keith wont lift a finger to help this man.
mjluxmoore So sad. Take care over there Matt!
This sounds like a territorial dispute between old adversaries Putin and Murdoch. I think they can settle it themselves. Doesn’t tucker have direct line to the kremlin through his show? This does not pass the smell test.
What the hell is Evan Gershkovich doing in a country like nazi Russia?
scopedbylarry 😢
why just one guy? they should arrest the whole company.
This is absolutely outrageous! Detaining a journalist for doing their job and reporting the truth is a violation of fundamental human rights. Russia needs to release Evan Gershkovich immediately! FreedomOfThePress JournalismIsNotACrime Check my bio plz
No worries, Biden will trade some Terrrorists and our nuclear codes for his release so he can deflect from his latest kiddie fondle...
Acosta Hotsage for the bargaining of the release of the MIT grad student spy in jail in Brazil.
I betcha biden don't treat this as urgent as he did to get Britney back home
US should arrest NHL player Ovetskin ..
Peskov on the arrest of Wall Street Journal correspondent Gershkovich: “We are not talking about suspicions, he was caught red-handed” Let's wait and see who the Russians want to exchange him for.
I thought Putin and Murdoch were good buddies. At least based on Fox “news” reporting.
Oh well
👀
While outside the bounds of reason, it would be most excellent to jail IrinaGalushkoRT, JoshSilberman, egorpiskunov_RT et al, as response (each a noted communist and all with professional motive to support the Russian jailing of evangershkovich).
Acosta We have to start treating Russia as the terrorist nation that it is.
Russian was recently arrested in a foreign country on espionage related charges from the United States. Not surprised.
Apex_WW Launch a few tomahawks at Sevestapool, I bet they release him promptly.
ryanstruyk Maybe Murdoch will stop brown-nosing Putin now?
Rupert Murdoch owns the WSJ. Can you use a different news source?
Acosta this is bad ala Brittney Griner
putin grabs a reporter from the ultra conservative, russia friendly, most trump supportive murdoch outlet. Doesnt pss the smell test…sounds like an op just to wag the dog for trump. 2:1 the white conservative operative will be out within a week, brokered by trump
Who’s the criminal who sent him there?
Jakim idiotą trzeba być żeby dobrowolnie jechać do rusków będąc obywatelem USA , zwłaszcza teraz w czasie trwania wojny? Niestety nie mam współczucia dla takich kretynów.
I'm not paying to read that! At least it was only a WSJ 'journalist.'
This is what happens when a weak administration trades a freak black lesbian for the Lord of War.
What’s this trade going to cost.
Interestingly enough straight after this article was published. Evan is the co-author.
Why do foreigners still go to Russia ? Didn't US and the other countries say not to go there? Didn't people learn of BritneyGriner case?
War time 'Enemy Disinformation combatant'
Where is your bio of Gershokovich located? I can't seem to find it.
Why would you still have personnel in that terrorist country? Americans were advised by the State Dept not to travel there as well of the risks of being taken. Now he won’t see the light of day for 2 decades or we have to do a swap. So irresponsible.
hes a white man tho? let me know when its a fat lesbian who actually committed crime
More leverage against the US
I really don’t understand why US citizens will even consider entering Russia at this very moment. Recklessness
Fair play mostly all are journalists work for the government
PaulaReidCNN Doesn’t Rupert Murdoch own the WSJ and Fox? Fox is very pro Putin. Shouldn’t Tucker negotiate his release?
JoshuaMZeitz He’ll be released as soon as they realize he’s employed by Rupert Murdoch.
This’s scary. I feel bad for him.
🫢🫢🫢🫢
I am sorry to hear this about your colleague. 🙏
It's all your fault. Note to self. Don't go to Russia lmfao

Trade him for Tucker Carlson.
America banning RT shows the hypocrisy of dementia Biden MSM propaganda good for one good for other
😱
Hey it’s all behind your paywall, perhaps gift these articles for free to get the word out?
UROCKlive1 Besides the fact that he probably is a spy, any American still in Russia is a fool.
berdynskykh_k there was no need to change the basketball player for the arms baron. The Kremlin liked this exchange.
Lets see how quickly the Biden administration jumps on this…. Its a shame he isn’t a drug using black lesbian anti- American female because he’d be out by the end if the week.
Russia took Evan Gershkovich as a hostage. FSB won't even try to hide it. For them he is a bargaining chip for negotiating with the US, nothing more.
He doesn't play women's basketball so we don't ever see him again
A Spy is a spy. Everywhere he should be arrested and suited. Even he is under cover of a journalist or businessman.
Just a matter of time….
Very worrying developments. US needs emergency leadership change ASAP! Not sure how to go about it, but Biden is obviously not able to do his job, is weak, and both both Russia China are taking advantage,countries joining BRICS, leaving American currency. Democrats failed bigly.
Really so sad, but U.S espionagers really are everywhere whole world and do everything to destroy peace
Stay away from elevator shafts.
Well, Gershkovich wasn't in Yekaterinburg for its tourism. The Russians keep a close eye on their own.
mjluxmoore Nice sign for every foreigner to get the hell out of zombie land…. 🧟♂️
It's Jack Ryan
No bueno. Sounds like they hit him with a pretty sticky charge too.
FrilingYonat Excellent news. The surname sounds jewish.
Just more evidence that Russia is a criminal state run by a criminal syndicate.
'm surprised you kept him there
Snooping around looking for a story on Wagner. What did you think was gonna happen? They’re we’re gonna sit with him and telling they’re taking a beating? How irresponsible to send him on an assignment like that. Now who’s gonna resign? Biden won’t bring him back
Respect the laws of Russia. A spy will be arrested.
Why is anyone still in RUSSIA? You can do your war reporting from Ukraine, and not the comfort of Russian hotels.
US citizens should not be in Russia if not for diplomatic reasons. I'm surprised you kept him there.
