Antony Blinken said the U.S. ambassador to Russia saw Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich as he urged for his "immediate release."

A Russian judge upheld the detention of American journalist Evan Gershkovich Tuesday following his arrest on spying charges amid the Kremlin’s sweeping crackdown on press freedom during the war in Ukraine.

After appearing in court, a Moscow City Court judge denied the reporter’s appeal of his detention, ruling that Gershkovich – the Russia correspondent for the Wall Street Journal – is to stay in jail awaiting an investigation and trial. If convicted, Gershkovich could face up to 20 years.
