U.S. in talks with Russia about detained reporter
The U-S has been in contact with Russian officials to press for the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. It’s been 100 days since Gershkovich was arrested and imprisoned on espionage charges. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan says the U-S is focused on winning the release of detained Americans. Sullivan said there have been U-S-Russian talks, but doesn’t want to give “false hope.” He said those discussions have not yet produced a clear pathway to a resolution.
