Fox News journalists reported that Evan Gershkovich will return to the United States as part of a large prisoner exchange between Russia and other countries. It is worth noting that the American reporter became the first foreign journalist to be arrested in Russia on charges of espionage since the end of the Cold War.
By the way, earlier the Sverdlovsk Regional Court found Gershkovich guilty under the article on espionage and sentenced him to 16 years of imprisonment in a maximum security penal colony . The journalist did not admit his guilt.
Evan Gershkovich was detained in March 2023 in Yekaterinburg. The FSB accused the reporter of “espionage” and “collecting information about the activities of one of the enterprises of the Russian military – industrial complex”.
The journalist himself had been working in Russia since 2017. Before his arrest, he wrote material about the Wagner PMC and the so-called “special operation”, as well as about the attitude of Russians to all this.
