President Biden threatens Russia with consequences for the arrest of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been detained in Russia for a year on spying charges. Biden vows to continue working for Gershkovich's release and denounces Russia's use of Americans as bargaining chips. The Kremlin calls for silence on possible prisoner exchanges involving Gershkovich, while top U.S. leaders from both parties condemn the journalist's arrest as baseless and unjust. Biden and Secretary of State Blinken also condemn the detention of another American, Paul Whelan, in Russia.
