"Russia Extends Detention of WSJ Reporter Evan Gershkovich to June 30"

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's pre-trial detention in Russia has been extended until at least June 30, with accusations of collecting state secrets about the military. U.S. officials and the Journal have condemned his detention as wrongful, with the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken determining that Gershkovich had been wrongly detained. Gershkovich is one of several high-profile U.S. citizens or dual nationals currently detained in Russia, including journalist Alsu Kurmasheva and dual American-Russian citizen Ksenia Karelina. The Wall Street Journal's Editor-in-Chief believes that their reporter will eventually be freed, but acknowledges the complexity of the situation.
