The U.S. ambassador to Russia on Monday visited detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich in a Russian prison, more than 2 1/2 weeks since his arrest on spying charges, the American Embassy in Moscow said.
“We reiterate our call for his immediate release,” said the envoy, Lynne Tracy, noting that he “is in good health.”
The Biden administration had complained that Russia was violating diplomatic norms by refusing to provide Gershkovich with consular access.
