At least a dozen American citizens are currently being held in Russian prisons. Reporter Evan Gershkovich and former U.S. marine Paul Whelan are among the most famous.
A Wall Street Journal reporter accredited by Russia to work there, Gershkovich was arrested in March 2023 in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg on charges of espionage that carry up to 20 years in prison. The FSB security service says he was collecting secret information about Uralvagonzavod, a company that manufactures battle tanks.
