A US journalist working for the Wall Street Journal has been formally arrested in Russia and accused of spying.

Evan Gershkovich, an experienced Russia reporter, was working in Yekaterinburg at the time of his detention.

The Wall Street Journal said it was "deeply concerned" for his safety and vehemently denied the allegations against him.

The Kremlin claimed the reporter had been "caught red-handed".

The FSB said it had "halted illegal activities" and that the reporter had been "acting on US instructions" and "collecting state secrets".

Hours later, the security service took him to Lefortovo district court in Moscow for his formal arrest. He was later seen being escorted from the building before being driven away.

His lawyer said he had not been allowed into the courtroom. The court had earlier been cleared of staff and visitors because of a bomb threat, Russia's Ria state news agency said.

The FSB confirmed in its statement that Evan Gershkovich had foreign ministry accreditation while working in Yekaterinburg 1,800km (1,100 miles) east of Moscow.

His last WSJ piece this week reported on Russia's declining economy and how the Kremlin was having to deal with "ballooning military expenditures" while maintaining social spending.

But the FSB claimed he had been detained "acting on US instructions" and that he had "collected information constituting a state secret about the activities of a Russian defence enterprise". A criminal espionage case was launched by the FSB's investigation department, it added.

In a statement, the Wall Street Journal said it stood in solidarity with the reporter and his family: "The Wall Street Journal vehemently denies the allegations from the FSB and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter, Evan Gershkovich."

Yes Terrible to arrest him
a USA Reporter

Russian Buggers


[Russia’s top security agency has arrested an
American reporter for the Wall Street Journal
on espionage charges,
the first time US correspondent to be put
behind bars on spying accusations since the Cold War.]

[The Federal Security Service said Evan Gershkovich
was detained in the Ural Mountains city
of Yekaterinburg while allegedly trying
to obtain classified information.

The WSJ said in a statement that it is
deeply concerned for Mr Gershkovich’s safety.]

Putin treats this conflict as a game of chess, how can you put your opponent to checkmate (to surrender), threaten with putting tactical nukes in belarus, closer to Ukraine

also i doubt he wants to use those nukes, given he is in a alliance with Donetsk, Lugansk their regional governments, and he clearly has an interest in wanting to claim ukrainian territory as theirs, once it's nuked, that zone will be a no man's land, that is a no win for any side


i think this war will last for quite some time still

He drew attention to himself.

I don't get why anyone would do that knowing that there is a possible terrorist group in the country?

Russia's Investigative Committee said]
Around 30 people were also wounded
in the explosion, with 10 of them said
