US Journalist Evan Gershkovich Denied Release in Russia, Will Remain in Jail Until November

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich lost his appeal against espionage charges and will stay in Russian jail until at least end of November.
Gershkovich was detained in March while on reporting assignment in Russia and accused of collecting classified information.
Court proceedings are closed and Russian authorities have not provided evidence to support the charges against Gershkovich.
The U.S. government says Gershkovich is wrongfully detained, while analysts suggest Moscow may be using jailed Americans as bargaining chips.
Gershkovich's extended detention highlights deteriorating U.S.-Russia relations amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
