In an exclusive interview, the family of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich speaks out for the first time since he was detained in Russia on March 29.

The last time WSJ staff heard from Evan Gershkovich before his arrest was March 29, just before 4 p.m., when he had arrived at a steakhouse in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg. The American reporter loved reporting on Russia—its language, its people—and had made Moscow a second home. Hours later, the newsroom was scrambling to reach contacts in Yekaterinburg, Moscow and Washington. A vague post on Telegram reported that security agents had taken a diner from a Yekaterinburg steakhouse with his hood up. On March 30, Russia said it had detained Gershkovich and accused him of espionage, a claim that WSJ, his colleagues and the Biden administration all deny. Diplomats and legal experts see little hope that the American will immediately be freed, given that espionage trials in Russia are conducted in secret and almost always end in a conviction. The U.S. and WSJ are demanding his immediate release. 📷: AP, WSJ, Zvezda News via Storyful #istandwithevan #evangershkovich #wsj #wallstreetjournal #thewallstreetjournal | WSJ Eastern Europe correspondent | Evan Gershkovich | WSJ reporter | Thomas Grove
