Evan Gershkovich

Evan Gershkovich, the American journalist detained in Russia on espionage charges, is back in the spotlight after a report described an alleged furious, table-slamming meltdown by Vladimir Putin connected to the case. The Kremlin has always insisted the Wall Street Journal reporter was legitimately arrested for spying, claims widely rejected as baseless. Attention remains focused on Gershkovich's fate and possible prisoner exchange talks.
