US journalist Evan Gershkovich's secretive 'sham' trial in Russia nears end

Evan Gershkovich's espionage trial is being held behind closed doors, but feels as if it is drawing to a close.

WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, falsely accused of espionage and held in Moscow since March 2023, is indicted in Russia.

The "espionage" charges against Evan are a sham, and Russia knows it.

Putin should drop these charges now!
