The US government is pushing hard for the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich who was arrested in Russia, and tracking his detention closely, the White House said
"We have been pushing hard since the moment we found out the reporter was detained," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
Russia's FSB security service said on Thursday it had arrested Evan Gershkovich, accusing him of gathering information about a Russian defence company that was a state secret."We will do everything we can to get Evan home and Paul Whelan," Kirby said, referring to the former U.S. Marine serving a 16-year jail sentence in Russia on charges of espionage, which he and the United States deny.
