Evan Gershkovich's appeal against further pre-trial detention was rejected by a Russian court on Thursday.

The Wall Street Journal reporter was arrested in March on espionage charges and is now expected to remain in detention until at least late August.

The US ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, was at the hearing. Speaking to reporters after, Tracy said she was 'extremely disappointed' at the denial of his appeal and described the charges as 'baseless'. In a statement Tracy said: 'He is an innocent journalist who was carrying out journalistic activities and has been wrongfully detained.'

I expect they will swap him for aircraft spare parts to maintain all the jet planes they stole and cannot maintain because of sanctions. Either that or a couple of super yachts.
