Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich appeared at a Moscow court for a hearing to appeal the terms of his detention. He is asking that his pre-trial detention be under house arrest rather than in jail. Gershkovich was detained in late March and formally charged with espionage. The US State Department has officially designated Gershkovich as wrongfully detained by Russia. CNN senior international correspondent Matthew Chance reports. #CNN #News
Detained WSJ journalist appears in Moscow court
Moscow wants to trade him for that defector
It’s tight 🤍🤍🤍
“Do not hope that once you take advantage of Russia’s weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come, do not rely on the Jesuit agreements you signed that allegedly justify you. Therefore, you should either play fair with the Russians, or at all do not play.” Bismarck Chancellor of Germany 57
Yea whatever.
@Michael Smith very rich comment…
Wow thanks for the cultural lesson 🙏🏻👊🏼💯
Striking.
Maybe we could trade Evan Gershkovich for Jack Teixeira + a good forward for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
lol
Good… But jack is a Ukrainian in ethnicity… A traitor… He could be in Frontlines be a sunflower
Anyone that is in Russia currently should be left on their own. They made a choice to stay- Let then deal with that choice. Why should others have to pay for that choice.
Rittenhouse is a perfect example.
He placed himself at risk, He made himself a target and then he was forced to take the life of others because of that choice.
( Any American still in Russia is a target )
Why feel sorry for the outcome of these peoples personal choices.
@Elmosweed Rittenhouse put out a fire and was attacked for it. You know nothing
His eyes are showing signs of sleep deprivation and stress.
You think. He got caught around a Russian Military base.
That’s what I am going to say👍 hopefully he’s strong enough 🙏
I guess his hands is chained (with a hidden cuff.).
Just curious does he jump in front of the line from the Marine that’s still over there?
is he smiling? He looks terrified
One day they might say, “Have you ever been to the prisons in Russia? Oh, you haven’t? You really should try to. They have the nicest people there.”
@deck. Absurd humor doesn’t discount naive state here. Current opinion of Russian populace is .. Putin took too little and too weak a stance with Ukraine problem. ( even while Putin is polling high 80’s still). Recent speech ( Poland?) spoke of existential question for west ( neo con elites?) with Ukraine defeat. How about we get off heavily subsidized corporate media and actually do our job knowing what is transpiring world wide ?
@Dan Wright Keep practicing that google translate pinko. Maybe one day you’ll get that propaganda across.
@Dan Wright All I have is the media, and of course, I have you now.
Americans need to avoid going to Russia by any means necessary no matter who you are or work for.
IQ of a lemon drop
I lived in Moscow for 7 years. It was a great city. Safe, clean, modern, lots and lots to do. I had my family packed up and back to my country 7 days after the war began. Theground shifted and it was time to leave.
The russian favorite guy said When exposing the truth is a crime, you are being ruled by criminals. In accordance to the russian’s favorite man, they should release Evan immediately
Yikes I got a feeling this isn’t going to end well for him🤔
How Putin’s justice system works: “Next case? Guilty! 20 years. Next case? Guilty! 25 years. Next case?”
To paraphrase Julia Joffe: …I wish Russians had a different skin color than us. They look the same as us , so we think they are the same. But they really are not. They truly are and think fundamentally different and we can’t seem to wrap our heads around that. Purple might help us to remember this more easily…
About time a western journalist is held accountable.
So the FSB is just like the FBI lmao. Poor sap, at least he got to appeal.
