US reporter ‘violated Russian law,’ was caught ‘red-handed’: Kremlin
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was caught “red-handed” violating Russian law, the Kremlin said on Tuesday after the US State Department officially designated the journalist as being “wrongfully detained.”
“I don’t understand what kind of innovations this new regime is introducing. As for what it means, I don’t know,” Peskov said. The decision to formally declare Gershkovich as wrongfully detained came at record speed compared to past incidents of Americans imprisoned abroad, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained Russia’s position that the 31-year-old journalist had broken the law.AFP via Getty Images
