The Kremlin said on Friday that all accredited foreign journalists could continue to work in Russia, a day after a Wall Street Journal reporter was remanded in custody on espionage charges brought by the FSB security agency.
The Kremlin said Evan Gershkovich had been carrying out espionage "under the cover" of journalism. Russia has not published any evidence to support the charges - the first such case against an American reporter since the end of the Cold War - which have been denied by the WSJ.
