Why anyone travels to Russia makes no sense🤦

[dhmutang]

Don't go to Russia if American... simple as that... especially with what is going on now with the war. You asking for trouble going there...

[Pascal]

Serves him right for going over there. He's an ethnic Russian, speaks fluent Russian and was working for Russia's enemies...so of course they would detain him.

I don’t get it it. Everyone saw what happened to that girl basketball player in Russia and what it took to get her out. So why did Evan stay in Russia and take the risk of getting the same treatment as her? All Americans should leave Russia ASAP.

Whoever news outlets sent this guy to Russia amidst this chaos relationship between USA and Russia really set him for failure.
Hopefully there have another arm dealer to trade with him for.

well, since a lot of CIA and FBI operatives are embedded with journalism then its easy to assume he is a spy.

[Peppermint]

I don't think he was an enemy as a journalist but clearly unbiased reporting is not possible either in Russia or in Ukraine - both sides it's the same censorship. But this reminds of the story of Greiner which got exchanged for the most dangerous war lord in the world which is selling arms to the largest conflicts in Africa. One must question, how can a country let go such a dangerous person which basically should never ever be released from prison. Most likely he is selling now weapons from Ukraine.

"Who he was" They talk about like he is dead or some

Journalist doing spy things. Catching him red-handed on the spot.

Why are you asking me who this man is? I never heard nor seen this “journalist” a day in my life. You could tell me anything and expect me to nod my head in agreement.
