The ruling means Gershkovich, who was detained in March 2023 while on a reporting trip, will remain jailed on espionage charges until at least late June

His arrest in the city of Yekaterinburg rattled journalists in Russia, where authorities have not detailed what, if any, evidence they have to support the espionage charges. Analysts have pointed out that Moscow may be using jailed Americans as bargaining chips in soaring U.S.-Russian tensions over the Kremlin’s military operation in Ukraine. At least two U.S. citizens arrested in Russia in recent years – including WNBA star Brittney Griner – have been exchanged for Russians jailed in the U.S.
