Evan Gershkovich was arrested while on a reporting trip to the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg.
On the one-year anniversary of the Russian detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, President Joe Biden said the US is working every day to secure his release.
A recent court hearing offered little new information on Mr Gershkovich’s case. He was ordered to remain behind bars pending trial at least until June 30, the fifth extension of his detention. And for the 32-year-old journalist, it is a break from his otherwise largely monotonous prison routine.“We will continue working every day to secure his release,” the Democratic president said.
Mr Biden said that the US was working to free all Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad.
