Russia says it will “not tolerate pressure” from the U.S. over
detained WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, a Russian senior official
has warned. Washington has recently escalated his case, officially
designating him as “wrongfully detained” - meaning he is now seen
as a hostage. As Bloomberg reports that Putin himself
personally approved his detention, there are growing questions on
what price the U.S. is willing to pay to free yet
another American taken by Russia. And with each exchange, does the
risk of incentivizing Russia to claim more hostages grow? We
speak with New York Times Moscow correspondent Valerie Hopkins, a
good friend of Evan Gershkovich who left Moscow shortly after his
arrest, and Jason Rezaian who was wrongly held in Iran on espionage
charges while serving as Tehran bureau chief for the Washington
Post.
