Russia's FSB has detained an American journalist in Russia 'on suspicion of espionage' amid icy relations between Moscow and Washington over war in Ukraine.
Evan Gershkovich, 31, was held in Yekaterinburg in the Urals where he was on an assignment for The Wall Street Journal.
The reporter - an accredited foreign correspondent in Moscow - was held over alleged “illegal activities” and was “suspected of espionage for the US government”, said the FSB.
