Today, Secretary Blinken made a determination that Evan Gershkovich is wrongfully detained by Russia.
Journalism is not a crime. We condemn the Kremlin's continued repression of independent voices in Russia, and its ongoing war against the truth.
The U.S. government will provide all appropriate support to Mr. Gershkovich and his family. We call for the Russian Federation to immediately release Mr. Gershkovich.
We also call on Russia to release wrongfully detained U.S. citizen Paul Whelan.
