BREAKING: President Joe Biden said he’s serious about pursuing a prisoner exchange for Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter who has been detained in Russia since March.
Global negotiators have agreed to craft a draft treaty to end plastic pollution. The agreement Friday is a preliminary but crucial step toward tackling one of the world’s most lasting sources of waste.
Gershkovich was arrested on espionage charges in the city of Yekaterinburg while on a reporting trip. He is being held at Moscow’s Lefortovo prison, notorious for its harsh conditions. A Moscow court recently upheld a ruling to keep him in custody until Aug. 30.wrongfully detained White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed last week that there have been “discussions” between the two sides, but cautioned that there is not yet “a clear pathway” to winning Gershkovich’s freedom.
In Washington, the Wall Street Journal and Gershkovich’s family have sought to keep the spotlight on his detention.
