U.S.-Russia tension escalates over espionage arrest of American journalist Evan Gershkovich

Gershkovich was detained in Russia on March 29 while reporting and has been charged with espionage, which he denies.
The U.S. and international leaders have demanded Gershkovich's release and condemned the charges as baseless.
Russia has not allowed consular access to Gershkovich, violating international law according to American officials.
The rare bipartisan support for Gershkovich in Congress reflects the escalating diplomatic crisis with Russia.
Gershkovich's detention poses new obstacles for Western journalists and risks permanent damage to US-Russia relations.
